So last month I went to a dinner for work and had some of the best food ever. (Read about it here.) And one of the things I ate was a Brie Bite. Oh. My.
It tasted just like a mini pecan pie. Only it wasn’t. I went back for seconds of this one. Ok fine. Thirds. Or was it fourths?! And I don’t even like pecan pie. It’s not as sweet as a pecan pie so that may be why I like these bites so much.
As soon as I tasted it, I knew I wanted to recreate it at home. And I did just that. It had a sweet taste so I played around and found the perfect combination. And it’s only five ingredients. Perfect for dessert or an appetizer.
** Note: I made these again recently and ran out of honey so I used maple syrup instead – if you like sweet things, this works even better!!!
Pecan and Brie Bites
Ingredients:
1 Pillsbury pie crust
Brie wedge
Brown sugar
1/2 c chopped pecans
Honey or Maple Syrup
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Roll out dough and go over it with a rolling pin a few times to stretch it a bit.
Use a round cookie cutter or biscuit cutter to make circles. You can also use a small glass if you don’t have a cookie cutter.
You will place dough on a 24 Cup Mini Muffin Pan
Slice pieces of the Brie wedge into small chunks. You will only use half of the Brie wedge per roll of pie crust dough.
Sprinkle a pinch of brown sugar over the cheese. Evenly distribute the pecans amongst the pan.
Drizzle a dash of honey or maple syrup on top of the pecans.
Place in the oven and bake for 14-16 minutes.
