Delightful almond-crusted Brie bites topped with a luscious maple honey glaze. These elegant puff pastry appetizers blend creamy Brie, crunchy almonds, and a sweet glaze for a perfect party treat or sophisticated snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Brie and Coating

  • 8 oz (225 g) Brie cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1/2 cup almonds, finely chopped

Puff Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Glaze

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Puff Pastry: Roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut into small squares slightly larger than the Brie cubes to allow room for folding.
  3. Coat Brie: Take each Brie cube and gently roll it in the finely chopped almonds, ensuring an even coating that will add crunch and flavor.
  4. Assemble Bites: Place each almond-coated Brie cube onto a puff pastry square. Carefully fold the edges of the pastry slightly around the Brie and brush the pastry with the beaten egg to create a golden, shiny finish when baked.
  5. Bake: Arrange the prepared bites on the lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry turns golden and puffed, and the Brie becomes soft and melty.
  6. Add Glaze: While the bites bake, gently warm the maple syrup and honey in a small saucepan until combined and smooth. Drizzle this maple honey glaze generously over the warm Brie bites just before serving to add a sweet, sticky finish.

Notes

  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the almonds lightly before chopping and coating the Brie.
  • If puff pastry is not available, phyllo dough can be a substitute but requires more careful handling.
  • The glaze can be prepared in advance and warmed slightly before serving.
  • Serve immediately after adding the glaze to enjoy the contrast of warm Brie and sweet syrup.
  • Keep extra honey and maple syrup on the side for guests who prefer a sweeter touch.
