Chili Crisp Honey Brie Bites (Print View)

Flaky puff pastry squares with creamy Brie, honey drizzle, and a spicy chili crisp kick for any gathering.

# Ingredient List:

→ Dairy

01 - 7 oz Brie cheese with rind, cut into 24 small cubes

→ Pastry

02 - 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (9 x 13 inches), thawed

→ Toppings

03 - 2 tbsp honey
04 - 2 to 3 tbsp chili crisp (store-bought or homemade)

→ Other

05 - 1 egg, beaten for egg wash
06 - 1 tsp sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

# Directions:

01 - Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Unroll the thawed puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 24 equal squares, approximately 2 x 2 inches each.
03 - Place one Brie cube at the center of each pastry square. Add 1/4 teaspoon honey and between 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chili crisp atop the cheese.
04 - Fold the corners of each square upward and pinch to seal, or leave slightly open for a rustic appearance.
05 - Transfer assembled bites onto the prepared baking sheet, seam side up. Brush each with beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds if desired.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes, until golden brown and puffed.
07 - Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with additional honey if preferred before serving.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look like you spent hours in the kitchen but actually take less time than ordering takeout.
  • The contrast of crispy pastry, melting Brie, and that chili-honey punch hits every craving at once.
  • You can prep them ahead and bake right before guests arrive.
02 -
  • If you don't let the pastry thaw completely, it cracks when you fold it, but if it's too warm, it tears and becomes impossible to work with—room temperature is the sweet spot.
  • Seal the corners firmly or the filling will leak out and burn on the pan, which I learned the hard way the first time.
03 -
  • Keep your puff pastry cold until the moment it goes in the oven—warmth is the enemy of a good puff.
  • Don't skimp on the egg wash; it's the difference between looking homemade and looking like you know what you're doing in the kitchen.
