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
- Your favorite dipping sauce (honey, jam, or balsamic glaze)
Instructions
- Place the flour, beaten egg, and panko breadcrumbs into three separate shallow dishes.
- Dredge each brie cube in the flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat until it reaches 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 15-20 seconds per side, or until golden brown and the brie starts to melt slightly.
- 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 your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or dried herbs to the panko breadcrumbs.
