Pomegranate Brie Bites
MAKES: 12 | PREP TIME: 20 Minutes | BAKE TIME: 17 minutes
Ingredients
Dough for an 8 to 9-inch pie crust
3 ounces brie, cut into 12 pieces
12 roasted, salted pecan halves
1/3 cup pomegranate arils
1 medium egg
1 tablespoon water
Honey
These bite-size appetizers are perfect for the holiday season. Bold brie is combined with the flavor of pomegranates and honey for an inviting snack to pair with your favorite seasonal cocktail. Serve these bites warm. They’ll go fast!
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll the dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out 12 circles about 2 ½-inches in diameter. Place the circles of dough on the baking sheet.
Add a piece of brie and a pecan half in the center of each circle. Press about 3 pomegranate arils into each piece of brie.
Fold up the sides of each circle, pinch them together on the corners to create a square or rectangle shape. Whisk together the egg and water in a bowl. Brush the egg wash over each bite.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until golden brown. The cheese will bubble and ooze and the crust may unfold slightly as it bakes. Once out of the oven, transfer the bites to a serving plate. Drizzle with honey and top with any remaining pomegranate arils. Serve warm.
