Ingredients
  

8 oz Brie cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes

1 cup shelled unsalted pistachios, finely chopped

½ cup panko breadcrumbs

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 large egg

2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Salt and pepper, to taste

Honey or balsamic reduction, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the bites from sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Pistachio Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the finely chopped pistachios, panko breadcrumbs, finely chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the ingredients together until they are evenly mixed and the vibrant colors of the ingredients are visible.

      Coat the Brie Bites: Take each Brie cube and roll it in the all-purpose flour, ensuring that each piece is lightly coated. Shake off any excess flour; this step ensures the egg wash adheres properly to the cheese.

        Make the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, crack the large egg and beat it until it is fully mixed and slightly frothy. Dip each floured Brie cube into the egg mixture, making sure to coat it completely for an even crust.

          Crust the Brie: After the egg wash, immediately roll each Brie cube in the pistachio mixture. Press gently to ensure each cube is thoroughly coated in the nutty crust.

            Bake: Arrange the pistachio-crusted Brie bites on the lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each one to allow for even cooking. Place them in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes, or until the coating turns a beautiful golden brown and the cheese starts to ooze out.

              Serve: Once baked, remove the Brie bites from the oven and allow them to cool for about a minute. For an added touch of sweetness, drizzle them with honey or balsamic reduction. Serve these delightful bites warm as a standout appetizer or part of an exquisite cheese board.
