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.
