Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Brie wheel
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 cups Canola oil (for frying)
- 0.25 cups Blackberry preserves
- 0.5 cups Fresh blackberries
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Place the Brie wheel in the freezer for 15 minutes to make it easier to handle when coating and frying.
Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls: one with all-purpose flour, one with the beaten eggs and milk whisked together, and one with the panko breadcrumbs.
Remove the Brie from the freezer and lightly coat it in flour, ensuring all sides are covered. Shake off the excess flour.
Dip the floured Brie into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then immediately press it into the panko breadcrumbs. Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the surface to create a thorough coating. Repeat this process for a double coating if desired for extra crispiness.
Heat the canola oil in a deep skillet or saucepan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a breadcrumb into the oil; it should sizzle immediately and turn golden in about 10 seconds.
Carefully place the coated Brie wheel into the hot oil using a slotted spoon or tongs. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy all over. Use caution to avoid oil splatters.
Remove the fried Brie from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, gently warm the blackberry preserves over low heat until it becomes smooth and slightly runny.
Transfer the fried Brie to a serving plate. Spoon the warmed blackberry preserves over the top and scatter fresh blackberries around the dish.
Garnish with fresh thyme, if desired, and serve immediately with crackers or sliced baguette for dipping.
