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.

Steps:
- Place a piece of aluminum foil under the rack of your grill and preheat it to medium-high.
- Drizzle the oil over the grapes and season with salt and pepper. Place the grapes and the brie onto the grill and cook, turning both occasionally, until the grapes are lightly charred and bursting, about 4 to 6 minutes.

- Scatter the pistachios over the brie and grapes and garnish with a few basil leaves. Serve immediately with sliced baguette and crackers.

Steps:
- Cut the Brie half into 6 small wedges, and freeze until completely frozen, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, tear the bread into small pieces, and put in a small bowl. Add the vinegar, toss and let sit until the bread is very soft, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a food processor. Add the parsley, olive oil, capers, whole cornichons, anchovy, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper, and process until a coarse paste. (The salsa verde can be refrigerated for up to 1 day.)
- Fill a small pot with about 2 inches of vegetable oil. Clip a deep-fry thermometer onto the side, and bring the oil to 350 degrees F over medium-low heat. Line a plate with paper towels.
- Meanwhile, beat the egg in a small bowl. Put the breadcrumbs in another small bowl.
- Bread and fry the Brie in two batches: Dip the wedges in the egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to cover. Repeat for a double breading (make sure there are no bare spots where the cheese peeks through). Being careful of the hot oil, add half the breaded Brie and fry, turning as needed, until a deep golden brown, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon, and allow to drain on the paper towels. Repeat with the remaining Brie.
- Spoon some of the salsa verde onto 6 small plates. Top each with a wedge of fried Brie, and garnish each with a cornichon half and parsley. Serve hot.

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:
- Freeze Brie for 30 minutes. Finely chop all nuts and sesame seeds in food processor. Transfer to medium bowl. In another medium bowl, whisk eggs and cream to blend. Remove cheese from freezer. Dip each wedge into egg mixture and then into nut mixture, turning to coat and pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to plate; cover with plastic and refrigerate until very cold, at least 45 minutes. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- Pour enough peanut oil into heavy large skillet to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F. Working in 2 batches, fry Brie until deep golden brown, turning occasionally with metal spatula, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain. Serve with purchased jalapeño jelly and baguette slices.
Tips:
- Choose a high-quality brie. Look for a wheel that is firm and has a slightly wrinkled rind. Avoid brie that is too soft or has any signs of mold.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the brie into wedges. This will help to prevent the brie from crumbling.
- Coat the brie wedges in flour before frying them. This will help to create a crispy outer layer.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when frying the brie. This will cause the brie to cook unevenly.
- Serve the fried brie immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Deep-fried brie is a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy outer layer and gooey interior, fried brie is sure to be a hit with your guests. Serve it with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
