Instructions
How to Make Easy Pistachio-Crusted Brie Appetizer Bites
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together chopped pistachios, honey, finely chopped rosemary, sea salt, and black pepper. Let sit for about 5 minutes.
Unroll the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 3x3-inch squares.
Place approximately 1 ounce of brie in the center of each pastry square, then top with the pistachio mixture.
Fold the corners of each pastry over the filling, pinching the seams tightly. Brush the tops with beaten egg.
Arrange bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
Allow bites to cool for 2-3 minutes on a wire rack before serving. Optionally garnish with cranberries or pomegranate seeds.
Notes
Serve warm alongside champagne for an elegant touch. Keep brie cheese cold before assembly to maintain ideal texture.
