Bourbon Pecan Brie Bites

Description

Bourbon Pecan Brie Bites are a quick and easy party appetizer featuring creamy brie cheese, toasted pecans, and a bourbon-infused glaze, all wrapped in flaky puff pastry. These bite-sized treats are perfect for gatherings and can be customized for various dietary needs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package puff pastry sheets, thawed
  • 8 oz brie cheese, cut into 24 small cubes
  • 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped and toasted
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup (optional)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 24-count mini muffin tin or line with paper cups.
  2. Unfold thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and gently roll until smooth.
  3. Cut pastry into 24 equal squares (about 2 inches each).
  4. Press each square into the bottom and up the sides of the mini muffin wells to form cups.
  5. Place one cube of brie cheese in each pastry cup.
  6. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in brown sugar, bourbon, maple syrup (if using), and salt. Heat until bubbly and slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped pecans.
  7. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the bourbon pecan mixture over each brie cube.
  8. Brush exposed pastry edges with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  9. Bake for 13–15 minutes, until pastry is golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
  10. Let bites cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then gently lift out and transfer to a cooling rack. Serve warm.

Notes

Keep puff pastry cold until ready to use for best flakiness. Toast pecans for deeper flavor. You can assemble bites ahead and refrigerate before baking. Substitute bourbon with apple or orange juice for alcohol-free. Use gluten-free pastry for GF option. Sprinkle flaky salt on top after baking for extra flavor.
