Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut the brie into twelve 1½-inch cubes and pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to about ¼ inch thick and cut into twelve 3-inch squares.
  4. Combine chopped pistachios, minced thyme, and sea salt in a bowl; mix well.
  5. Place a brie cube in the center of each pastry square and fold the corners over to seal.
  6. Brush each wrapped brie bite with the egg wash for a glossy finish.
  7. Roll each pastry in the pistachio mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and flaky.
  9. Prepare the honey-thyme glaze by mixing honey, lemon juice, mustard, and pepper in a bowl.
  10. Let the bites rest for 3-4 minutes after baking, then drizzle with glaze before serving.
