Ingredients

  • 1 wheel of brie, rind removed, cut in wedges
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp oregano
  • 1 vegetable oil for frying

Method

  • Lightly beat egg and water
  • Mix dry ingredients separately
  • Dredge brie wedges in egg mix, then breadcrumb mix until fully coated in dry mix
  • Put wedges on plate, refrigerate about 30 minutes to harden brie to prevent over melting during frying
  • Heat veg oil (about 1 1/2" worth) in a large pan or wok.
  • Heat oil until it reaches 375F.
  • Gently place brie wedges in hot oil (being careful not to overload pan).
  • Fry wedges for one minute, flip, and fry another minute.
  • Be careful not to fry too long as coating will burn and cheese will melt out of coating.
  • Remove wedges and place on paper towel to dry.
  • Serve warm.
  • Goes great with cranberry apple chutney or olive oil and balsamic vinegar.
  • Enjoy!
