Chili Crisp Honey Brie Bites (Printable)

Flaky puff pastry with creamy Brie, honey drizzle, and spicy chili crisp for a flavorful bite.

# What You Need:

→ Dairy

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

→ Pastry

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

→ Toppings

03 - 2 tablespoons honey
04 - 2 to 3 tablespoons chili crisp, store-bought or homemade

→ Other

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

# How To Make It:

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 and cut into 24 equal squares, approximately 2 x 2 inches each.
03 - Place one cube of Brie in the center of each pastry square. Drizzle each with about 1/4 teaspoon honey and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon chili crisp.
04 - Fold the corners of each square up over the filling and pinch to seal, or leave slightly open for a rustic appearance.
05 - Transfer bites to the prepared baking sheet seam side up. Brush each with beaten egg and sprinkle sesame seeds if desired.
06 - Bake for 16 to 18 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
07 - Allow bites to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Optionally drizzle with additional honey.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • They come together in under 35 minutes and taste like you spent hours in the kitchen.
  • The contrast of warm melted Brie, crispy pastry, and spicy chili crisp keeps people reaching for another bite.
  • These work for casual gatherings or fancy occasions without any fussy techniques.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling time—pulling them apart while piping hot means molten cheese everywhere, but five minutes makes all the difference between a beautiful bite and a mess.
  • If your chili crisp is very thin, it may pool and burn at the edges; thicker versions distribute better and toast into something almost caramelized.
03 -
  • Use a very sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut the pastry into squares—pressing rather than dragging preserves the layers and ensures more even puffing.
  • Chill your Brie cubes in the freezer for 10 minutes before assembling if your kitchen is warm; cold cheese takes longer to melt and makes filling more manageable.
