Ingredients

Scale

For the Brie Bites:

  • 8 oz (225g) brie cheese, chilled
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • Oil spray (for baking)

For the Raspberry Honey Glaze:

  • 3 tbsp honey
  • ¼ cup raspberry preserves
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 pinch salt

Optional Garnish:

  • Crushed pistachios
  • Fresh raspberries
  • Fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Brie: Chill brie in the freezer for 15–20 minutes to make slicing easier. Cut the brie into 1-inch cubes, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
  2. Set Up Breading Station: Arrange three bowls—place the all-purpose flour in the first bowl, beaten egg in the second, and in the third bowl combine the finely chopped pistachios, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  3. Coat the Brie: Take each brie cube and dredge it first in the flour, then dip it into the beaten egg, and finally roll it in the pistachio-panko mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating adheres well all around the cheese cubes.
  4. Bake: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated brie bites spaced apart. Lightly spray the bites with oil spray to help with browning. Bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the coating is golden and the brie is just softened inside—avoid overbaking to prevent leaking.
  5. Prepare the Glaze: While the brie bakes, combine honey, raspberry preserves, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and warmed through, forming a glossy glaze.
  6. Serve: Once baked, transfer the brie bites to a serving platter. Drizzle the warm raspberry honey glaze over them. Garnish with crushed pistachios, fresh raspberries, and thyme leaves for an elegant finish. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, creamy center.

Notes

  • Chilling the brie before slicing prevents it from becoming too soft and hard to cut.
  • Do not overbake the brie bites as the cheese will leak and lose its creamy texture.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute panko breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs and use a gluten-free flour alternative.
  • These brie bites are best enjoyed fresh and warm for optimal texture and flavor.
  • You can prepare the raspberry honey glaze ahead and gently reheat before serving.
