Ingredients
  

  • 227 g firm Brie cheese chilled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 75 g shelled pistachios very finely chopped or pulsed
  • 30 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 60 g all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • ml ml vegetable oil for shallow frying
  • 113 g raspberry preserves seedless preferred
  • 42 g honey
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes adjust for heat
  • 5 ml apple cider vinegar
  • 15 g fresh chives snipped
  • g g extra crushed pistachios
  • g g fresh raspberries

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Shallow bowl

Method
 

  1. In a shallow bowl, combine the finely chopped pistachios and panko breadcrumbs. Place flour in a second bowl and the beaten egg in a third.
  2. Working quickly while the cheese is cold, dredge each Brie cube in flour, dip in the egg, and then roll in the pistachio-panko mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
  3. Place the coated bites on a plate and freeze for 20 minutes. This prevents the cheese from melting too fast and leaking during frying.
  4. While the cheese chills, combine raspberry preserves, honey, red pepper flakes, and vinegar in a small saucepan. Simmer over low heat for 5 minutes, then keep warm.
  5. Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the Brie bites for 45–60 seconds per side until the crust is golden and crisp.
  6. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels.
  7. Arrange the warm bites on a platter. Drizzle generously with the raspberry hot honey glaze.
  8. Garnish with fresh chives, extra pistachios, and fresh raspberries. Serve immediately while the center is molten.

Notes

These bites are best served fresh and warm to enjoy the gooey Brie center. Feel free to adjust the spice level of the glaze to your liking.
