These Pecan-Crusted Brie Bites with Raspberry Chili Honey Glaze are an elegant appetizer perfect for parties or special occasions. Creamy brie cheese is coated in crunchy pecans, nestled on flaky puff pastry, then baked until golden. A sweet and spicy raspberry chili honey glaze adds a delightful punch of flavor, balanced by a hint of fresh thyme or mint garnish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Brie Bites

  • 8 oz brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • ½ cup pecans, finely chopped
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the Raspberry Chili Honey Glaze

  • ⅓ cup honey
  • ¼ cup fresh or frozen raspberries
  • ½–1 tsp chili flakes (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh thyme or mint leaves

Instructions

  1. Prep the Puff Pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out the thawed puff pastry and cut it into small squares that are slightly larger than your brie cubes. Arrange these squares on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  2. Crust the Brie: Take each brie cube and press it firmly into the finely chopped pecans, ensuring all sides are well-coated for a crunchy exterior.
  3. Assemble the Bites: Place each pecan-crusted brie cube onto a corresponding puff pastry square. Using a pastry brush, apply the beaten egg to the edges of the pastry to help with browning and sealing.
  4. Bake: Place the assembled bites in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes. Watch for a golden, puffed pastry and melted brie inside, signaling they are perfectly done.
  5. Make the Raspberry Chili Honey Glaze: While the bites bake, combine honey, raspberries, chili flakes, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2–3 minutes, stirring occasionally until the raspberries break down and the glaze thickens slightly. For a smoother glaze, strain out seeds and solids.
  6. Finish & Serve: Drizzle the warm raspberry chili honey glaze over the baked brie bites. Garnish with fresh thyme or mint leaves to add a burst of color and herbaceous aroma. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Adjust the chili flakes in the glaze according to your preferred spice level.
  • For a smoother glaze, strain the raspberry mixture after simmering to remove seeds.
  • Puff pastry should be kept cold while working for best puff and flakiness.
  • Serving size is based on 12 bites; adjust ingredient quantities accordingly.
  • These appetizers are best served warm to fully enjoy the melted brie and crispy pastry.
