– 1 wheel of Brie
– 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
– 1 cup flour
– 1 tsp salt
– 1 tsp pepper
– ½ tsp garlic powder
– 1 egg
– ¼ cup cold water
– 2-3 cups canola oil for frying
Get three bowls. In one bowl; combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. In the second bowl; whisk together the egg and water. In the third bowl; pour in the Italian breadcrumbs.
Using a nonstick knife or a cheese cutter (Brie is very soft, and can stick to a knife easily, as well as your fingers); cut the wheel of brie into 1 ½ inch cubes.
As you are cutting the cheese pieces place them in the bowl with the flour mixture. Once all pieces are cut continue to lightly coat each piece with the flour. Shake off any excess flour.
Line a cookie sheet with parchment.
Carefully, drop brie bites by the handful into the hot oil. Make sure not to crowd the pot while frying. Use a slotted spoon to gently stir the Brie bites around in the oil.
