These adorable Brie cheese bites topped with honey roasted walnuts and parsley make a great amuse-bouche year-round. Try also the Brie Christmas tree appetizer version to make a fantastic holiday appetizer!

Ingredients

  • 8.8 ounces (250g) Brie cheese
  • 1 cup (125g) raw walnuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 Tablespoons honey
  • 1 handful parsley, finely chopped
  • Sea salt
  • 4 pretzel sticks, cut in half

Instructions

  1. Cut the cheese wheel into 8 equal wedges.*
  2. Roast the walnuts in a large pan over medium heat, stirring as you go. When they start turning golden brown (this usually takes less than one minute), add the honey and let cook for about 30 seconds, until the honey starts bubbling and stick to the walnuts. Add a pinch of sea salt, fresh parsley, and stir. Remove from heat and let cool slightly so the walnuts stick together nicely.
  3. Top the Brie wedges with the honey roasted walnuts. Break the pretzel pieces into two pieces and gently push ½ of a pretzel stick into the bottom center of the cheese wedges. It’s ready!

Notes

* Brie Christmas Tree Appetizer version. Cut the cheese wheel lengthwise so you have 2 wheels total, and cut each of them in 8 equal wedges. You will end up with 16 portions. In this version, add the roasted walnuts to the open triangle slices to give a shape of a Christmas tree.
