Special air fryer appetizers to impress your guests

The air fryer is my favorite small appliance in the kitchen. It cooks up appetizers quickly, easily, and with a crispy, deep-fried taste without all the oil. Plus cleanup is a breeze! If you can make it in the oven or deep-fryer you can make it in your trusty air fryer.

I have a favorite list of go-to easy appetizers that always come in handy around the holidays and when hosting a small gathering. Favorites like these crispy Air Fryer Tortellini, my holiday version of the classic Air Fryer Pigs in a Blanket Wreath, and these always popular Air Fryer Jalapeno Poppers.

Ingredients for baked brie in air fryer with jam.

Brie Cheese: The main cheese! The wheel of brie becomes creamy and luscious when air-fried (or baked).

Raspberry Jam: Adds a burst of sweet-tart flavor to balance the richness of the cheese. Cherry jam is also an option.

Pistachios: Chopped pistachios give a nice crunch and a subtle nutty flavor.

Dried Cherries: For a touch of chewiness and sweetness.

Fresh Rosemary: Adds a hint of herbal freshness that pairs perfectly with the cheese.

How to make baked brie in the air fryer

Place raspberry jam, rosemary, dried cherries, and pistachios in a small bowl.
Mix well.
Lightly score the top rind of the brie cheese.
Line the bottom of an air fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper. Place brie cheese in the center of the air fryer basket and top it with the raspberry jam mixture.

Air fry the brie at 325°F for 9-11 minutes. Watch it closely as it nears the 9-minute mark. You want the brie soft and gooey not melted into a puddle.

Place the warm brie on a serving plate or add it to a charcuterie board and garnish it with a sprig or two of fresh rosemary, some shelled pistachios, and a handful of fresh raspberries. Serve with crisp baguette rounds, crackers, and apple slices. This is the perfect appetizer for special occasions, holiday parties, game time, or just because.

Recipe tips for success

Room Temperature Brie: Let the brie come to room temperature before air frying for an even melt.

Line your air fryer tray: Lining your air fryer with parchment paper or silicone liner will make cleanup easier and prevent the cheese from sticking.

Watch Closely: Keep an eye on the Brie as it bakes to ensure it doesn't over-melt. You want it soft, not completely liquefied!

Recipe variations to make it your own

This air fryer brie cheese recipe is incredibly flexible, so don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors and textures.

Jam Substitutes: Swap the raspberry jam with fig jam, pear jam, or apricot preserves for a different sweet twist. You can also add a drizzle of honey or cranberry sauce for added depth and holiday vibes.

Nut Options: If pistachios aren't your thing, try walnuts, pecans, or almonds. Each adds its own unique crunch and flavor.

Herb Alternatives: Fresh thyme, rosemary's woodsy cousin, works beautifully here. You could also use basil or even sage for a fall-inspired flavor.

Dried Fruit Alternatives: Dried cranberries, blueberries, apricots, or even raisins would add a delightful chew and sweetness.

What to serve with baked brie

Pair this warm, gooey brie with an assortment of crackers, baguette slices, crostini, or even apple and pear slices for a balance of creamy, crunchy, and crisp.

How to store and reheat leftovers

Storing: Store the leftover brie in an airtight container in the fridge. The brie will firm back up, but it can still be reheated later.

Reheating: To reheat, place the brie back in the air fryer at a lower temperature (around 300°F) for a few minutes until it's warmed through and creamy again. I like to place mine in a short-sided dish after the rind has been broken to prevent spillage as it melts.
