Ingredients
300ml/10½fl oz vegetable oil, for deep frying
50g/1¾oz plain flour
2 free-range eggs, beaten
100g/3½oz fresh white breadcrumbs
115g/4oz brie, cut into wedges
85g/3oz ready-made cranberry sauce
Method
1. Place the vegetable oil into a deep, heavy-bottomed saucepan and heat until a small cube of bread sizzles and turns golden when dropped into it. (CAUTION: hot oil can be dangerous. Do not leave unattended.)
2. Place the flour onto a plate, the beaten egg into a bowl and the breadcrumbs onto another plate. Dip each wedge of brie first in the plain flour, then in the beaten egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, shaking off the excess between each stage.
3. Carefully place the brie wedges into the hot oil and deep fry for 4-5 minutes, or until golden-brown. Remove the wedges from the oil with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
4. To serve, place the deep-fried brie wedges onto a serving plate along with a small bowl of cranberry sauce.
