Description
Brie Cheese Bites are a delightful combination of creamy, sweet, and crunchy flavors, making them the perfect appetizer for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 300 grams Brie cheese (double cream, not too soft)
- 1/4 cup hot honey or regular honey
- 1/3 cup pistachios, chopped
- 1/3 cup dried cranberries (craisins)
- 16 pretzel sticks
Instructions
- Start by cutting the Brie cheese into bite-sized cubes. Aim for uniform pieces to ensure even coating and a pleasant presentation. The double cream variant of Brie adds luscious texture while still holding its shape.
- Place the Brie cubes neatly on a serving platter. Drizzle your choice of honey evenly over the cubes. If opting for hot honey, it imparts a gentle warmth that complements the creamy cheese well.
- Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the honey-coated cheese cubes, followed by a generous layer of dried cranberries. These toppings bring a delightful crunch and a burst of sweetness that contrast nicely with the cheese.
- Complement these delightful cheese bites with pretzel sticks for dipping or skewering. For additional texture, optionally chill the cheese bites for 10 minutes to firm them up before serving.
Notes
Ensure Brie is at room temperature for easier cutting and better flavor. Chopped nuts and cranberries should be uniform in size for consistent texture.
