Pistachio-Crusted Brie Bites with Fig Honey Glaze

Pistachio-Crusted Brie Bites with Fig Honey Glaze

Introduction

These little bites are the kind of appetizer that walks into a party wearing velvet and sparkles. Buttery puff pastry, melty brie, crunchy pistachios, and a glossy drizzle of fig-honey magic. They’re elegant enough for dinner parties, yet cozy enough to enjoy while standing by the kitchen counter “taste-testing” five in a row. Sweet, salty, flaky, creamy. One bite and the world gets a tiny bit fancier.

Ingredients

• 6 oz brie cheese, cut into bite-size cubes

• ½ cup chopped pistachios

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

• 2 tbsp fig jam

• 1 tbsp honey

• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Optional Tools (not required to include in recipe card, but helpful)

• Mini muffin tin

• Sharp knife

• Pastry brush

• Baking sheet & parchment (if not using mini muffin tin)

Substitutions (use if you want to include tips section)

• Camembert or goat cheese instead of brie

• Pecans or almonds instead of pistachios

• Raspberry or apricot jam instead of fig

• Store-bought phyllo cups instead of puff pastry

Instructions

1. Preheat
   Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment if not using a mini muffin tin.

2. Prepare Pastry
   Cut puff pastry into small squares and press each one into a mini muffin tin to form pastry cups.

3. Add the Brie
   Roll brie cubes in chopped pistachios (optional for extra crunch), then place one cube into each pastry cup.

4. Brush & Bake
   Brush pastry edges with beaten egg. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until golden, puffy, and lightly crisp.

5. Make the Glaze
   Mix fig jam and honey in a small bowl until smooth and glossy.

6. Finish & Serve
   Spoon or drizzle the fig-honey glaze over the warm bites. Serve immediately while the brie is melty and irresistible.

Fancy flavor without the fuss. These brie bites bring creamy cheese, crunchy nuts, and sweet sticky glaze together in a bite-sized celebration. They’re the kind of snack people secretly hope will appear again at your next gathering. Warm tray + happy faces + zero leftovers. Consider that your warning.
