Notes
Best enjoyed fresh; store leftover dressing separately for up to 5 days.
Reheat brie bites in the oven to bring back their crunch.
Substitute fresh strawberries for a lighter, fresher version.
Swap almonds for pumpkin or sunflower seeds for a nut-free option.
Baked goat cheese or halloumi can replace crispy brie bites.
