🧀🥜 Keto Pistachio-Crusted Brie Bites with Raspberry “Honey” Glaze
These are crispy outside, creamy inside, sweet-salty bites—great as a keto-friendly appetizer or party snack.
🧾 Ingredients
🧀 Main
- 1 wheel Brie cheese (or Camembert)
- 1 egg (beaten)
- ½ cup crushed pistachios (unsalted)
- 2–3 tbsp almond flour (optional, helps coating stick)
- Salt (tiny pinch)
🍯 Raspberry glaze (keto version)
- ¼ cup raspberries (fresh or frozen)
- 1–2 tbsp keto sweetener (erythritol/monk fruit)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1–2 tbsp water
🔥 Instructions
1. Prep the brie bites
- Cut Brie into small cubes (bite-size pieces)
- Chill in freezer for 10–15 minutes (helps coating stick)
2. Coat the bites
Set up 3 bowls:
- Bowl 1: almond flour (optional step)
- Bowl 2: beaten egg
- Bowl 3: crushed pistachios
Coating order:
- Brie → almond flour (light coat)
- Dip in egg
- Roll in pistachios until fully covered
3. Cook (choose one method)
🔥 Air fryer (best keto crisp)
- 180°C (350°F) for 6–8 minutes
🧈 Pan frying
- Medium heat
- Shallow fry until golden on all sides
👉 Goal: crispy nuts, soft melted center
4. Make raspberry glaze
In a small pan:
- Add raspberries + sweetener + lemon juice + water
- Cook 3–5 minutes until thick and slightly syrupy
- Mash berries while cooking
- Strain if you want smooth glaze
5. Serve
- Drizzle warm raspberry glaze over brie bites
- Serve immediately while cheese is molten
