These fig and brie bites are the perfect blend of sweet and savory. Baked in golden puff pastry, filled with melty brie cheese, and topped with fig jam, rosemary, and a touch of honey, they’re the ultimate one-bite appetizer for parties, holidays, or wine nights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

  • 1 small wheel of brie cheese (cut into ½-inch cubes)

  • ¼ cup fig jam

  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

  • Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans for topping

  • Mini muffin pan or mini phyllo shells

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Roll out puff pastry and cut into 2-inch squares (enough to fit into mini muffin pan cups).

  3. Press each square into the mini muffin pan to form small cups.

  4. Place one cube of brie into each pastry cup.

  5. Add ½ teaspoon of fig jam on top of each piece of brie.

  6. Sprinkle chopped rosemary (and nuts if using) over each bite.

  7. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until pastry is golden and cheese is bubbly.

  8. Drizzle lightly with honey after baking (optional).

  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

 


Notes

  • Brie rind is edible—remove if you prefer a smoother texture.

  • Fig jam can be replaced with cranberry, apricot, or peach jam for variations.

  • Can be made ahead and baked right before serving.

  • To make gluten-free: use gluten-free pastry shells.

  • Vegan option: use plant-based brie and vegan pastry.
