Ingredients

Scale

For the Brie Bites

  • 1 wheel brie cheese (8 oz), cut into 1-inch cubes
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

For the Blackberry Chili Honey Glaze

  • ¼ cup honey
  • ¼ cup fresh or frozen blackberries, mashed
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brie: Place brie cubes in the freezer for 20–30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to coat and bake without melting too quickly.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Arrange three bowls: one with the all-purpose flour, one with the beaten egg, and one with a mixture of finely chopped pistachios, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Bread the Brie Cubes: Dredge each brie cube first in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat them evenly with the pistachio-panko mixture, ensuring a full crust coverage.
  4. Freeze Brie Bites: Place the coated brie bites on a parchment-lined tray and freeze again for 10 minutes to help the coating adhere and avoid excessive melting during baking.
  5. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the brie bites.
  6. Bake Brie Bites: Bake the brie bites for 10–12 minutes until the crust is golden and the insides are soft and gooey.
  7. Make the Blackberry Chili Honey Glaze: While the brie bakes, combine honey, mashed blackberries, chili flakes, and fresh lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer gently for 3–5 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant.
  8. Serve: Drizzle the warm blackberry chili honey glaze over the baked brie bites or serve it on the side for dipping. Garnish with extra chopped pistachios and fresh thyme if desired.

Notes

  • Freezing the brie cubes twice helps maintain their shape during breading and baking.
  • Adjust chili flakes according to your preferred spice level for the glaze.
  • Serve immediately for the best gooey, melty texture in the brie bites.
  • These bites pair beautifully with fresh thyme or mint as garnish for a pop of color and flavor.
  • Try using gluten-free panko for a gluten-free version.
