Deepfried Camembert

Submitted by Andrew Fison

"This was a favorite of mine from a small pub outside bristol in the UK. I had some spare cheese and time one night and came up with this recipe. Serve with a semi sweet jelly like red current or an onion jam."

I'm not sure if 'red currant' is the same as cranberry, but deep fried camembert + cranberry jelly is a mouthful of joy. My best friend makes this from time to time and it's extraordinarily tasty.

I used to go to my local pub just so I get this food. It was as you describe here and with a side bowl of Cumberland Sauce. You can do the same with brie if thats more to your taste.

Need to use very fine breadcrumbs! Mine were too large and burnt a little :(
