Pistachio-Crusted Brie Bites with Raspberry Honey Glaze
Sweet, nutty, creamy, and perfect for parties or a special snack
🧾 Ingredients (Serves 4–6)
For the Brie Bites
200g Brie cheese (cut into small cubes)
½ cup pistachios (finely chopped)
¼ cup breadcrumbs (optional, for extra crunch)
1 egg (beaten)
2 tablespoons flour
Oil for frying (or use oven/air fryer option below)
For the Raspberry Honey Glaze
½ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon lemon juice
Pinch of salt
🥣 Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Coating
Place flour, beaten egg, and chopped pistachios (mixed with breadcrumbs if using) in separate bowls
2. Coat the Brie
Roll each brie cube in flour
Dip into egg
Coat with pistachio mixture
👉 Press gently so the coating sticks well.
3. Chill (Important!)
Place coated bites in the freezer for 15–20 minutes
👉 This prevents the cheese from melting too quickly while cooking
4. Cook the Brie Bites
Option A: Frying
Heat oil on medium
Fry bites for 1–2 minutes until golden
Remove quickly (don’t overcook or cheese will leak)
Option B: Oven
Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 8–10 minutes
Option C: Air Fryer
Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 6–8 minutes
5. Make Raspberry Honey Glaze
In a small pan, add raspberries, honey, lemon juice, and salt
Cook on low heat for 5–7 minutes
Mash slightly and simmer until thick and glossy
6. Assemble
Place warm brie bites on a plate
Drizzle with raspberry honey glaze
