BREADED BRIE

These golden coated hunks of Brie are the easiest to make and look and taste divine served with redcurrant jelly or cranberry as a starter.

You will need:

Brie - I use Asda smart price at 83p for 200g its half the price of other brands. 200g will serve 3 to 4 as a starter.

1 egg - whisked

Flour - to coat

Golden breadcrumbs

Sunflower oil - to fry

Cranberry sauce or redcurrant jelly

Salad leaves (to serve if desired)



My Method:

Cut the brie into hunks about an inch square.

Coat in flour.

Dip in egg.

Coat in a golden breadcrumb.

At this point feel free to place these breaded pieces in the fridge until you need, for up to an hour or so as once fried they should be served immediately. (Do not place them touching though)

In a frying pan, shallow fry in hot sunflower oil, turning regularly,
this literally takes minutes so its best in my opinion to have your serving dishes ready and garnished with salad and or the jelly / sauce.

Quickly transfer to a piece of kitchen towel to soak up the excess oil and serve.

Personally I serve on small square plates with a few leaves of ready prepared salad, the one with the grated beetroot in as the colour contrast looks stunning, a small dollop of redcurrant jelly
and two squares of Brie. It is popular with both my 3 year old daughter and mother!

Summary: ...well I like them - Give them a go and let me know!
