Ingredients
Instructions
-
Start by preparing your cheese. Remove the wrapping from the wheel of Camembert or Brie cheese and cut it into wedges or cubes, depending on your preference.
-
Prepare three shallow bowls for the breading station. In the first bowl, place the all-purpose flour. In the second bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with paprika, salt, and pepper.
-
Take each piece of cheese and coat it first in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the cheese in the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
-
Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Make sure the oil is hot but not smoking.
-
Carefully place the breaded cheese pieces into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan. Fry the cheese for about 1-2 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
-
Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried cheese to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
-
Serve the Gebackener Käse warm, with a side of cranberry sauce or fruit compote for dipping. Garnish with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, for a pop of color and freshness.
