Why You’ll Love Brie Puff Pastry Bites
These Brie Bites are made extra special with juniper berry & fig jam… juniper berries are very underrated in my opinion because they add such a unique burst of flavor, they have almost like a pine taste, if that makes sense. I discovered them in my restaurant days after I ordered some by mistake and have been using them ever since.
How To Prepare Brie Puff Pastry Bites
🔪 Roll out the puff pastry sheet until fairly thin, cut it into 12 squares. Pierce each square with a fork so they don’t puff up while baking.
🌟 Place each square inside of a muffin/cupcake tin. There is no need to spray the muffin tin because the puff pastry has enough butter in it that it isn’t necessary. Bake at 400°F for 13-15 minutes or until lightly golden.
🫐 Add the juniper berries and pink peppercorns to a mortar and pestle and grind them. If you do not have a mortar and pestle, you can use a cutting board and rolling pin to grind them instead.
🍯 Add the fig preserves to a pan with the honey, orange zest, cinnamon juniper berries & pink peppercorns to a pan. Cook for 2 minutes so it thickens a bit.
🧀 Slice the brie into 12 small squares.
🔥 Add some fig preserves to each of the puff pastry cups followed a slice of brie and then bake for another 3-5 minutes.
🌿 Top with prosciutto and chives.

This was good.
I can’t find the brie bites near me and they are expensive online for a small amount. Are there alternatives to use
Hey Lanette, You’re in luck because this actually got mixed up with my other upside down brie bite recipe! This dish is actually just a regular brie that you cut into pieces. I’ve fixed it on the website now. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!
