Steps:
- Wrap the Camembert in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Remove the plastic wrap and, using a knife, slice the cheese in half horizontally so you have 2 round layers as you would a cake for layers.
- If using the truffles, place the truffle slices on 1 half, slightly overlapping the pieces, until it is covered. Cover with the other half of the Camembert and firmly press together. Repeat with the second Camembert. If you are not using truffles, you may replace them with mixed berries or other mushrooms.
- Bread the cheese first dipping it in flour, egg, and bread crumbs mixed with the ground walnuts. Repeat this process twice to ensure the cheese is covered and it won't seep out the sides.
- In a fryer or large pot, heat the oil to 375 degrees F and fry the cheese until golden brown.
- To serve, slice the cheese and serve on a platter with fruits.

FRIED CAMEMBERT CHEESE WITH CURRANT COULIS
Steps:
- Prepare Currant Coulis: Place currants in a small saucepan with the water and sugar. Bring to a boil and cook gently for 10 to 12 minutes, or until soft. Puree through a food mill, and add currant vodka and a little more water if it's too thick. Set aside.
- Prepare Fried Camembert: Slice cheese into 6 wedges and refrigerate until very cold and firm. Beat eggs in a bowl and place flour and bread crumbs in separate individual bowls. When cheese is cold, dip each wedge, one at a time, in flour, patting off any excess. Then dip in eggs, drain, and coat with bread crumbs. Be meticulous about covering every spot of cheese. Reserve coated cheese on a platter in freezer for 10 minutes.
- Dip each wedge in eggs and bread crumbs again, being careful to drain the eggs and thoroughly coat with bread crumbs. Place in freezer for another 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat oil in a large stockpot or saucepan to deep-fry temperature (350 degrees F). Fry wedges, three at a time, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Do not stir, since the breading is easily broken. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Transfer to a large roasting pan and bake for 5 minutes.
- To serve, coat each plate with Currant Coulis. Top with wedge of cheese and serve immediately, accompanied by a shot of black currant vodka.

Tips:
- Choose the right cheese: Not all cheeses are created equal for frying. Camembert, brie, and goat cheese are all good choices, as they have a soft, gooey center that melts well. Avoid using hard cheeses like cheddar or Parmesan, as they will not melt properly.
- Prepare the cheese properly: Before frying, the cheese should be coated in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. This helps to create a crispy outer coating and prevents the cheese from melting out of the breading.
- Use the right oil: Use a high-heat oil like vegetable oil or canola oil for frying. Olive oil is not a good choice, as it has a low smoke point and can burn easily.
- Fry the cheese until it is golden brown: This usually takes about 2-3 minutes per side. Do not overcrowd the pan, as this will cause the cheese to cook unevenly.
- Serve immediately: Fried cheese is best served hot and gooey. It can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as honey mustard, marinara sauce, or cranberry sauce.
Conclusion:
Fried cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your friends and family. So next time you are looking for something new and exciting to try, give fried cheese a try. You won't be disappointed!
