Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz wheel of Brie cheese cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp honey or maple syrup for drizzling
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves optional
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter for brushing

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the finely chopped pistachios, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  3. Take each cube of Brie cheese and dip it lightly in olive oil or melted butter, allowing any excess to drip off. This will help the coating adhere better.
  4. Roll the Brie cubes in the pistachio mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks well to all sides. Place the coated Brie bites on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. If you’re using fresh thyme, sprinkle it over the coated Brie bites for added flavor and a touch of elegance.
  6. Once all the Brie bites are coated, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pistachio crust is golden brown and the Brie inside is melting.
  7. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. Drizzle with honey or maple syrup before serving for a sweet contrast to the savory bites.
  8. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
