🍑🧀 Peach Brie Bites
Elegant little appetizer bites: buttery pastry + creamy brie + sweet peaches + honey glaze. Perfect for parties, tea time, or fancy snacks with minimal effort.
🛒 Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- 150–200 g Brie cheese (cut into small cubes)
- 1–2 ripe peaches (thinly sliced or small wedges)
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1–2 tbsp honey
- 1 tbsp butter (optional, for brushing)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
- Fresh thyme or rosemary (optional but highly recommended)
👨🍳 Instructions
1. Prep pastry
- Preheat oven to 200°C
- Cut puff pastry into small squares (about 2–3 inches each)
- Place squares into a greased muffin tray or on a baking sheet
2. Assemble bites
In each pastry square:
- Add a small cube of brie
- Top with a slice of peach
- Add a tiny drizzle of honey
- Optional: sprinkle a pinch of salt or herbs
3. Egg wash
- Beat egg and brush edges of pastry
- This gives a golden, glossy finish
4. Bake
- Bake for 12–18 minutes
- Until pastry is puffed and golden, and cheese is melted
5. Finish
- Drizzle a little extra honey while warm
- Add fresh thyme or rosemary if using
🍽️ Serve
- Best served warm
- Great with tea, wine, or as a party appetizer platter
🔥 Tips for best flavor
- Don’t overfill or brie will overflow too much
- Use ripe but firm peaches so they hold shape
- A tiny pinch of salt makes the sweetness pop
- You can swap peaches with figs or apricots
If you want, I can also make:
- a savory version (bacon + brie bites)
- a phyllo cup version (extra crispy)
- or a no-pastry skillet version for quick cooking
