Deep-Fried Camembert

7 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 (4-ounce) Camembert pieces
  • 1 (1 1/2-ounce) truffle, optional, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups flour
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups bread crumbs
  • 1 cup finely chopped ground walnuts
  • 3 quarts vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1
    Wrap the Camembert in plastic wrap and place in the freezer for 1 hour.
  2. 2
    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.
  3. 3
    If using the truffles, place the truffle slices on 1 half, slightly overlapping the pieces, until it is covered.
  4. 4
    Cover with the other half of the Camembert and firmly press together.
  5. 5
    Repeat with the second Camembert.
  6. 6
    If you are not using truffles, you may replace them with mixed berries or other mushrooms.
  7. 7
    Bread the cheese first dipping it in flour, egg, and bread crumbs mixed with the ground walnuts.
  8. 8
    Repeat this process twice to ensure the cheese is covered and it won't seep out the sides.
  9. 9
    In a fryer or large pot, heat the oil to 375 degrees F and fry the cheese until golden brown.
  10. 10
    To serve, slice the cheese and serve on a platter with fruits.
