Ingredients

  • Fried Brie
  • 1 cup unbleached flour
  • 1 lb brie cheese (not over-ripe)
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumb
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • Cranberry sauce
  • 1 1/4 cups fresh cranberries or 1 1/4 cups frozen cranberries
  • 6 tablespoons sugar or 6 tablespoons Splenda sugar substitute
  • 6 tablespoons water

Method

  • Place cranberries and water in a sauce pan and bring to a boil.
  • Cover and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the sugar or Splenda.
  • Return the pan to the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes more.
  • Pour into a serving dish, keep warm.
  • Sift the flour onto a plate and coat the cheese on all sides, dip into the beaten egg, then coat with the bread crumbs.
  • Heat oil in a deep fryer to 350 degrees F, deep fry the brie for 1- 2 minutes on both sides or until the bread crumbs are golden.
  • Drain well.
  • Serve the fried brie while still hot with the warm cranberry sauce.
  • NOTE: I use Splenda and it works fine in this recipe.
