🧀 Ingredients

For the Brie Bites:

• 8 oz (225g) Brie cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg, beaten
• ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
• ¼ cup finely chopped pistachios

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs, chopped pistachios, and parsley (if using).
2. Coat each Brie cube lightly in flour, then dip into the beaten egg, and roll in the breadcrumb-pistachio mix until well coated.
