Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
1 (8 ounce) wedge Brie cheese, cut into 1 inch cubes
½ cup dry bread crumbs
3 cups oil for deep frying
1 cup cranberry sauce

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, whisk the egg with some salt and pepper using a fork. Place the bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Dip the cubes of Brie into the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs until evenly coated and well covered. Place the cheese cubes on a tray, and refrigerate for about 20 minutes, to firm up.
  • Heat oil in deep-fryer or heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry the cheese cubes for 3 to 5 minutes, until deep golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with cranberry sauce for dipping. You can also make these before your guests arrive, and keep them in a warm oven.
