Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces Brie cheese, 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 separate shallow dishes.
- Dredge each brie cube in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Carefully drop the coated brie bites into the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
- Fry for 15-20 seconds per side, or until golden brown. Be quick, you don’t want the brie to melt out completely.
- 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 a drizzle of honey or a dollop of your favorite jam, if desired.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or Italian seasoning to the panko breadcrumbs. Serve immediately for the best texture.
