Mini Apricot Brie Bites are a savory-sweet appetizer featuring creamy brie cheese and sweet apricot preserves, all wrapped in a buttery, flaky puff pastry. These bite-sized treats are perfect for any occasion!

Ingredients

  1. 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade), thawed if frozen
  2. 4 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small pieces
  3. 1/4 cup apricot preserves or jam
  4. 1 tablespoon fresh thyme or rosemary, finely chopped (optional)
  5. 1 egg (for egg wash)
  6. 1 tablespoon melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  1. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and cut it into 2-3 inch squares. You should have 12-16 squares depending on the size of your sheet.
  2. Place a small piece of brie cheese in the center of each puff pastry square. Top with a spoonful of apricot preserves and a sprinkle of fresh thyme or rosemary (if using).
  3. Fold the corners of the puff pastry toward the center and pinch the edges to seal the filling inside. You can leave the pastries open-faced if you prefer little tarts.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush the egg wash over the tops of the pastries for a golden finish.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Brush the baked bites with melted butter for extra flavor and shine.
  7. Allow to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm for the best experience!

Notes

  • Substitute apricot preserves with other fruit jams like raspberry, peach, or strawberry for different flavor profiles.
  • Add crushed nuts like almonds or walnuts for added texture.
  • For savory options, swap the apricot preserves for caramelized onions or garlic.
  • Can be made ahead and baked just before serving, making them perfect for parties.
  • To make gluten-free, use gluten-free puff pastry and ensure the preserves are gluten-free.
