Ingredients
- 1 wheel of brie
- 7 oz prosciutto
- 1/4 cup balsamic glaze
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Cut the brie into 1/2 inch slices.
- Wrap each slice of brie with a slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick.
- Place the wrapped brie bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Notes
These bites are best served warm, right out of the oven. You can prepare them in advance by wrapping the brie in prosciutto and storing them in the fridge until ready to bake. If you don’t have balsamic glaze, you can reduce balsamic vinegar with a bit of sugar to make your own. Pair these bites with a light-bodied Pinot Noir for a delightful combination.
