Description

Indulge in the luxurious experience of Pistachio-Crusted Brie Rounds with Fig Jam Glaze, where the creamy, buttery texture of brie meets the crunchy, nutty flavor of pistachios. Each bite is enhanced by the sweet, rich fig jam, creating a delightful contrast that tantalizes the taste buds.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Brie:
    • 1 wheel of brie cheese (8 oz)
    • 1 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
    • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
    • 2 large eggs, beaten
    • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • For the Fig Jam Glaze:
    • 1/2 cup fig jam
    • 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
    • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Slice the brie into rounds, about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Set up a breading station: place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and breadcrumbs mixed with chopped pistachios in a third.
  5. Dredge each brie round in flour, dip in egg, and coat with the pistachio breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Arrange the coated brie rounds on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and melty.
  7. While the brie is baking, combine fig jam, balsamic vinegar, and rosemary in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring until warmed and well mixed.
  8. Once the brie rounds are done, drizzle the fig jam glaze over them and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Make-ahead: You can prepare the brie rounds and coat them in the breadcrumb mixture a few hours in advance. Store in the refrigerator until ready to bake.
  • Storage: Leftover brie can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
  • Substitutions: Use walnuts or almonds instead of pistachios for a different flavor profile.
