Ingredients
  

Recipe Ingredients
  • 8 oz Double Cream Brie Cheese Chilled and cut into 1-inch cubes (225g)
  • 1 cup Roasted Salted Pistachios Shelled and crushed (150g)
  • 1/4 cup Honey Amber variety preferred (60ml)
  • 24 seeds Fresh Pomegranate Seeds Bright red arils
  • 24 sprigs Fresh Thyme Small tips only

Equipment

  • 1 Chef's knife Sharp knife for clean cheese cubes
  • 1 Food Processor Or a rolling pin to crush pistachios
  • 1 Baking sheet For the slight melt process

Instructions
 

Preparation
  1. Place the brie in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up. Using a sharp knife, cut the brie into 24 uniform 1-inch cubes.
  2. Pulse the roasted pistachios in a food processor or crush with a rolling pin until you have a coarse, textured crumb.
Assembly
  1. Roll each brie cube in the crushed pistachios, pressing firmly on all sides until heavily coated.
  2. Place cubes on a baking sheet and warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven for 2-3 minutes until the edges show a slight melt.
  3. Transfer to a serving plate. Drizzle each bite with honey, then top with one pomegranate seed and a thyme sprig.

Notes

Ensure the brie is cold when cutting to maintain clean cube shapes.
Roasting the pistachios briefly before crushing enhances the vibrant green color and flavor.
