Fried Fruit Stuffed Wedges of Walnut Dusted Camembert

What could be better than fried cheese? Fried cheese stuffed with raspberry jam, just like a monte cristo.



Get a wheel of fine brie, and chill it well, it will help you cut through it. Cut the diameter until you get several 1" wedges on the outside arc. Use a compass for accuracy.

Cut a small notch into the wedge parallel to the surface. Insert rasperry jelly, or any jelly. In a separate bowl whisk one egg and a teaspoon of milk together.

Prepare the crust in a separate bowl by grinding walnuts into a flour. You can use a mini food processor or coffee grinder. Mix about a fistful with breadcrumbs.

Dunk the wedge in the egg wash first, then roll in the flour. Fry Fry Fry! I deep fried mine, but you can fry in pan oil and finish in the oven.

This is a rich and satisfying bite, and you will only be able to go through one or two wedges. The sweetness of the coulis or jelly pairs remarkably with the creamy-nutty envelope of camembert.
