Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces brie cheese, chilled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Honey or jam, for serving (optional)
Instructions
- Place the flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs in three separate shallow dishes.
- Dredge each brie cube in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with panko breadcrumbs.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop the breaded brie bites into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry for 15-30 seconds per side, until golden brown and the brie starts to melt.
- 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 your favorite jam, if desired.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to the panko breadcrumbs.
