Deep Fried Brie Recipes

DEEP FRIED IRISH BRIE WITH SEASONAL SALAD

Steps:

• 1. Brie Bites
• 2. Sprinkle flour onto one plate and the wheat germ onto another. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Toss the brie cubes in plain flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally in the wheat germ. Deep fry the brie in a hot fryer (275C) 525F for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, then drain.
• 3. Vinaigrette
• 4. Place mustard in a bowl, add the white wine vinegar (it doesn't give an amount), and the lemon juice and whisk. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with the seasonal greens.
• 5. Place the salad in the center of the plate and arrange the brie around the edges.
• 6. Tip: Brie can be frozen for up to six weeks, but leave it the refrigerator over night to thaw.

FRIED BRIE WITH NUT CRUST

Steps:

• Freeze Brie for 30 minutes. Finely chop all nuts and sesame seeds in food processor. Transfer to medium bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk eggs and cream to blend. Remove cheese from freezer. Dip each wedge into egg mixture and then into nut mixture, turning to coat and pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to plate; cover with plastic and refrigerate until very cold, at least 45 minutes. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Pour enough peanut oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working in 2 batches, fry Brie until deep golden brown, turning occasionally with metal spatula, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve with purchased jalapeño jelly and baguette slices.

DEEP FRIED BRIE

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.
