  • 1 pinch Sea Salt to boost flavors

Equipment

  • sharp knife
  • Pizza Cutter
  • Baking Sheet
  • shallow bowl
  • Oven

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by cutting the brie into 12 equal cubes; pat them dry to remove moisture. Next, roll out the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to a thickness of about ¼ inch. Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into 12 squares.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine finely chopped unsalted pistachios, minced fresh thyme, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir until well mixed.
  3. Grab each puff pastry square and place a brie cube in the center. Wrap the pastry around the brie and pinch the edges to seal it. Brush each wrapped bite with an egg wash or plant-based milk mix, then roll in the pistachio mixture until fully coated.
  4. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange the bites on a lined baking sheet with space between them. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
  5. Let the brie bites cool for 3 to 4 minutes. Serve warm, drizzled with extra honey-thyme glaze and a sprinkle of black pepper.
