Mini Brie & Honey Bites

Name: Mini Brie & Honey Bites — 2 Ingredients
Total time: 10 min
Yield: 16 bites
Cuisine: Holiday
Ingredients: 200 g brie; 1 tbsp honey; Flaky salt; Cocktail picks

Two ingredients, one plate, two jobs. These mini brie-and-honey bites cover both the savory appetizer slot and the sweet-after-dinner slot, so a single tray serves two search intentions at once. Cubed brie, a thread of warm honey, a pinch of salt — that is the entire recipe, ready in about 10 minutes with zero cooking required. They are rich (around 210 kcal for two), so think small bites and cocktail picks. Elegant enough for the table, easy enough for a Tuesday.

Step by Step

How to make it

Cube the brie

Cut a 200 g wheel of brie into 16 small cubes, rind and all — the rind holds the shape so the cubes stay neat on the platter. Bring them to room temperature for 10 minutes so the cheese softens just enough to feel creamy, not melt.

Warm and drizzle

Lay the cubes on a matte dish and warm 1 tbsp honey for 10 seconds in the microwave until it flows. Drizzle a thin thread over each cube — a light hand keeps them elegant and the calories low. A tiny pinch of flaky salt makes the honey pop.

Serve as bite or treat

Spear each cube with a cocktail pick and serve within the hour. They work as a savory appetizer bite before the meal, or as a two-ingredient dessert bite after — the same plate covers both intentions. Add a rosemary sprig only for looks.

Tips & Swaps

Keep them cold-ish

Chill the brie 10 minutes before cubing so the pieces stay sharp; very soft brie is hard to pick up.

Honey that flows

Ten seconds in the microwave is enough — too hot and it melts the cheese instead of sitting on top.

Sweet or savory

Add a grind of black pepper for a savory bite, or keep it sweet for the dessert slot.

FAQ

Questions, Answered

Can mini brie and honey bites be served as dessert?

Yes — the same two-ingredient bite works before the meal as a savory appetizer and after it as a sweet treat, so one tray covers both.

What can I use instead of honey?

A drizzle of maple syrup or a spoon of fig jam gives a similar sweet finish; maple keeps it vegan-friendly.

Are brie and honey bites gluten-free?

Yes, with just brie and honey they are naturally gluten-free — check any add-ons like crackers if you serve them.
