Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Coating

  • 8 oz Brie cheese, cut into small cubes
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped

Puff Pastry

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

Glaze

  • 2 tbsp date syrup or date honey
  • 1 tsp honey (optional, for extra drizzle)

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: Cut the thawed puff pastry sheet into small squares that are just large enough to wrap around each Brie cube, ensuring a neat bite-sized package.
  3. Coat Brie Cubes: Roll each Brie cube in the finely chopped pistachios, pressing gently so that the nuts adhere well to the cheese for a flavorful crust.
  4. Assemble Bites: Place the pistachio-coated Brie in the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the edges of the pastry up and around the Brie to enclose it. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg to give it a golden, glossy finish when baked.
  5. Bake: Arrange the assembled bites on the lined baking sheet and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  6. Prepare Glaze and Serve: Warm the date syrup and optional honey slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the baked Brie bites just before serving for a touch of sweetness that complements the savory flavors.

Notes

  • Make sure the Brie cubes are dry to help the pistachios stick better.
  • You can substitute the date syrup with maple syrup for a different flavor twist.
  • Serve immediately after drizzling glaze to maintain the crispiness of the puff pastry.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently but are best enjoyed fresh.
  • For a nuttier flavor, toast the pistachios lightly before chopping.
