• ukupno vrijeme: 17 minutes

Sastojci

For the Brie bites:

1 small wheel of Brie cheese (about 200 g)

½ cup finely chopped pistachios

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

For the cranberry honey glaze:

½ cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)

2 tbsp honey

1 tsp balsamic vinegar (optional, adds depth)

¼ tsp orange zest or a squeeze of orange juice

Upute

Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the Brie:

Cut Brie into small 1-inch cubes (about 16 pieces).

Coat with pistachios:

Gently press each Brie cube into the chopped pistachios so they stick to all sides.

Wrap in puff pastry:

Cut the pastry into small squares (about 5×5 cm). Place one coated Brie cube in the center of each, fold corners over, and pinch to seal.

Brush with egg wash and place seam-side down on the baking sheet.

Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until golden and puffed.

Make the glaze:

In a small saucepan, combine cranberry sauce, honey, and balsamic vinegar. Warm over low heat until smooth and glossy (3–5 minutes). Add orange zest at the end.

Serve:

Drizzle warm cranberry honey glaze over the baked Brie bites or serve on the side for dipping.
