How to Make Blackberry Fried Brie
- Whisk 1 large egg in a shallow dish.
- Place 1 cup breadcrumbs on a plate.
- Cut a wheel of brie (approximately 8 ounces) into 4 equal portions.
- Dip each brie portion in the egg, ensuring it's fully coated, then dredge in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
- Refrigerate the breaded brie for at least 30 minutes to allow the breading to set.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups fresh blackberries (reserve a few for garnish), 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 4 tablespoons of water.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blackberries soften and release their juices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder with 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Stir the slurry into the blackberry sauce to thicken slightly. Remove from heat.
- Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet or pot to 180°C (350°F). Use a thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- Carefully place the brie portions into the hot oil and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- To serve, arrange the fried brie on individual plates. Spoon the blackberry sauce generously over each piece. Garnish with the reserved blackberries and a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional).
