Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces brie cheese, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Honey or fruit preserves, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Place the brie cubes in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up. This helps them hold their shape during frying.
- In three separate shallow dishes, place the flour (seasoned with salt and pepper), beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
- Remove the brie cubes from the freezer. Dredge each cube in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan 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 and the brie is melted inside. Be careful not to overcook, as the brie will melt completely and leak out.
- 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 fruit preserves, if desired.
Notes
For an extra touch, sprinkle the fried brie bites with a pinch of flaky sea salt before serving. You can also serve them with a side of balsamic glaze or a drizzle of maple syrup.
