Description
Elegant, bite-sized appetizers featuring creamy brie coated in crunchy pistachios and drizzled with a sweet-tart raspberry honey glaze.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (8 oz) wheel of brie cheese, chilled
- 1/2 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Cut the chilled brie into 1-inch cubes, discarding the rind if desired.
- Set up a breading station: place flour in one shallow bowl, beaten egg in another, and chopped pistachios in a third.
- Dredge each brie cube in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat thoroughly in pistachios.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry brie bites for 1-2 minutes per side until golden and slightly softened.
- Meanwhile, make the glaze: in a small saucepan, combine raspberries, honey, water, and lemon juice. Simmer for 5 minutes, mashing raspberries, then strain to remove seeds.
- Arrange brie bites on a serving platter, drizzle with raspberry honey glaze, and serve immediately.
