Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces brie cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Honey or jam, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Place the brie cubes in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
- In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten eggs, and panko bread crumbs seasoned with salt and pepper.
- Remove the brie from the freezer. Dredge each cube in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the panko bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop the breaded brie cubes into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding.
- Fry for 15-20 seconds per side, or until golden brown.
- Remove the fried brie bites with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve immediately with honey or jam, if desired.
Notes
Serve the fried brie bites immediately while they are still warm and gooey. A drizzle of honey or a dollop of fruit jam complements the richness of the cheese perfectly.
