• Roll the sides in crushed pistachios.

4. Wrap

• Place each coated Brie cube in the center of a puff pastry square.

• Fold and seal edges tightly.

• Place seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment.

5. Brush

• Brush tops with egg wash for golden color.

6. Bake

• Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes, until puffed, golden, and crispy.

7. Make the Glaze

• In a bowl, whisk: fig jam + honey + lemon juice + a splash of warm water.

8. Serve

• Drizzle the warm fig-honey glaze over the baked Brie bites.

• Top with extra pistachios if desired. Serve warm!

❓ Q & A

Q1: Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble the Brie bites and freeze them. Bake straight from the freezer by adding 3 more minutes.

Q2: What can I use instead of pistachios?

Almonds, pecans, or walnuts work great.

Q3: Brie melts out—how to prevent leakage?

Keep your Brie cold, puff pastry cold, and seal edges tightly.

Q4: Can I replace fig jam?

Absolutely—use apricot jam, raspberry preserves, or date syrup.
