Ingredients

Brie Bites

• 200 g brie cheese, cut into bite-sized cubes
• 1/2 cup (60 g) flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup (100 g) finely crushed pistachios
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• to taste oil for frying

Blackberry Hot Honey

• 1/2 cup (80 g) blackberries
• 2 tbsp (30 ml) honey
• 1–2 tsp chili flakes or hot sauce
• 1 tsp lemon juice

Topping and Garnish

• 1/2 cup (80 g) pomegranate seeds
• to taste extra crushed pistachios
• to taste fresh thyme leaves

Method

Brie Bites

1. Place the flour in one bowl, the beaten egg in a second bowl, and the crushed pistachios mixed with black pepper in a third bowl.
2. Coat each brie cube in flour, dip it into the egg, then roll it in the pistachio mixture until fully coated.
3. Place the coated brie bites on a tray and freeze for 15–20 minutes to help them hold their shape during frying.
4. Heat oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat. Fry the brie bites in batches for 1–2 minutes, until golden and crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate.

Blackberry Hot Honey

1. Combine the blackberries, honey, chili flakes or hot sauce, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, gently mashing the berries until the sauce is glossy and slightly thickened.

Topping and Garnish

1. Arrange the crispy brie bites on a serving platter and spoon the warm blackberry hot honey over them.
2. Sprinkle with pomegranate seeds, extra crushed pistachios, and fresh thyme leaves before serving.
