These raspberry baked brie puff pastry bites are an easy yet elegant appetizer made with flaky puff pastry, creamy brie cheese, sweet raspberry jam, and crunchy pistachios. They come together quickly with store-bought puff pastry and are perfect for entertaining, whether you’re hosting a holiday gathering or need a last-minute appetizer. If you’re planning a full spread, try pairing these with French onion soup bites or creamy spinach artichoke dip for a crowd-pleasing appetizer lineup.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- Easy to make – Uses store-bought puff pastry and comes together in under 30 minutes
- Elegant and crowd-pleasing – Melty brie, fruit jam, and pistachios feel elevated but approachable
- Perfect for entertaining – Great served warm or at room temperature and easy to prep in batches
Key Ingredients in This Recipe
- Puff pastry – Store-bought puff pastry is the easiest route to go. As these bites bake, the dough puffs up into flakey, buttery layers encompassing the jam and brie.
- Raspberry jam – Raspberry jam adds a balanced sweetness to contrast with the rich and creamy Brie.
- Brie – Brie is washed rind cow’s milk cheese; it’s a crowd-pleaser cheese. You can add it to a cheese board and it’s “approachable”. Everyone knows where they stand on it (though not all Brie is created equal). Look for a younger wheel of Brie, it will have a milder flavor and melt more smoothly. I recommend freezing the Brie for 15 minutes before cutting, it so it firms up and is easier to cut.
- Pistachio – The chopped pistachios add a nice crunch as well as a pretty contrast of color to the appetizer.
A full ingredient list with exact amounts can be found in the recipe card below.
Pro Tip
Freeze the brie for about 15 minutes before cutting — it firms up slightly, making it much easier to slice cleanly and portion evenly into the puff pastry cups.
Swaps and Substitutions
- Jam: Swap raspberry jam for fig jam, cranberry sauce, blueberry jam, or marmalade.
- Nuts: Replace pistachios with chopped pecans, walnuts, or sliced almonds.
- Cheese: Brie works best, but camembert is a good substitute with a similar texture.
How to Make Baked Brie Puff Pastry Bites (Step-by-Step)
Heat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll out one of the puff pastry pieces into a 9×12 inch (23 x 30cm) rectangle. Use a knife to cut the pastry into 12 equal squares. Repeat with the remaining sheet of puff pastry so you have a total of 24 squares.
Prepare a mini muffin tin with vegetable oil cooking spray. Press one square into each muffin tin cup. Use the tines of a fork to prick the bottom of each puff pastry in a few places. You may need to work in batches if you only have 1 muffin tin.
Add a cube of Brie to each cup and top with 1 teaspoon (5g) of the jam. Sprinkle the pistachios over the top.
Place each muffin tin on a baking sheet in case the mixture bubbles over. Bake until puffed and golden brown, about 18 to 20 minutes.
Let cool in the pans for 5 minutes. Remove to a serving plate. Repeat with the remaining ingredients if needed (if you only have 1 muffin tin). Serve hot or at room temperature.
How to Serve Raspberry Baked Brie Puff Pastry Bites
- Serve warm or at room temperature on a platter.
- Pair with sparkling wine, champagne, or a crisp white wine.
- Add to an appetizer board alongside cured meats, olives, and crackers.
How to Store Raspberry Baked Brie Puff Pastry Bites
- Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Reheat: Warm in a mini muffin tin at 350ºF (180ºC) for about 8 minutes, until heated through.
- Make ahead: Assemble a few hours in advance, refrigerate, then bake just before serving.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. You can assemble them a few hours in advance, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving for the best texture.
A younger, milder brie melts more smoothly and works best. Avoid very aged brie, which can separate as it bakes.
Absolutely. Fig jam, cranberry sauce, blueberry jam, or marmalade all pair beautifully with brie.
They’re delicious warm but also hold up well at room temperature, making them ideal for parties.
A mini muffin tin works best for shaping, but in a pinch you can bake them flat on a parchment-lined baking sheet — they’ll just be more rustic.
