Steps:
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg with some salt and pepper using a fork. Place the bread crumbs in a separate bowl. Dip the cubes of Brie into the egg, then roll in breadcrumbs until evenly coated and well covered. Place the cheese cubes on a tray, and refrigerate for about 20 minutes, to firm up.
- Heat oil in deep-fryer or heavy saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry the cheese cubes for 3 to 5 minutes, until deep golden brown. Remove with a slotted spoon, and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with cranberry sauce for dipping. You can also make these before your guests arrive, and keep them in a warm oven.

DEEP-FRIED APPLE AND BRIE BITES
This is a recipe I created after receiving a deep fryer for Christmas. These come out tasting just like little mini apple pies or apple empanadas. Beware: this recipe can get messy, so you will want to make sure you have extra paper towels waiting in the wings.

Steps:
- Stir apples, Brie cheese, 20 crushed vanilla wafers, honey, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least 15 minutes.

- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Pour 20 crushed vanilla wafers into a shallow bowl.
- Roll apple mixture into small balls. Drop balls into funnel cake batter and turn to coat completely. Roll coated balls in crushed vanilla wafers. Place the coated apple balls onto a plate while coating the rest; do not stack.

Steps:
- 1. Brie Bites
- 2. Sprinkle flour onto one plate and the wheat germ onto another. Beat the eggs in a bowl. Toss the brie cubes in plain flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally in the wheat germ. Deep fry the brie in a hot fryer (275C) 525F for 5-6 minutes until golden brown, then drain.
- 3. Vinaigrette
- 4. Place mustard in a bowl, add the white wine vinegar (it doesn't give an amount), and the lemon juice and whisk. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with the seasonal greens.
- 5. Place the salad in the center of the plate and arrange the brie around the edges.
- 6. Tip: Brie can be frozen for up to six weeks, but leave it the refrigerator over night to thaw.
Tips for Frying Brie:
- Select a ripe brie. A ripe brie will have a soft, creamy center and a bloomy rind.
- Freeze the brie before frying. This will help it hold its shape during frying.
- Use a light breading. A heavy breading will overwhelm the delicate flavor of the brie.
- Fry the brie in hot oil. This will create a crispy crust and a gooey center.
- Serve the brie immediately. Fried brie is best enjoyed hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Fried brie is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust and gooey center, fried brie is sure to please everyone at your party. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer, give fried brie a try!
