How to Make Fried Camembert

  1. In a shallow dish, whisk together 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  2. In a separate shallow dish, lightly beat 1 large egg.
  3. In a third shallow dish, place 1 cup panko breadcrumbs.
  4. Cut the camembert wheel into 6 equal portions. Gently roll each portion first in the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then dip in the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat thoroughly in the panko breadcrumbs.
  5. Heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large, heavy-bottomed pot to 350°F (175°C). Test the oil temperature by dropping in a small bread cube; it should brown in about 60 seconds.
  6. Carefully place the breaded camembert portions into the hot oil, frying for 30 seconds to 1 minute per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
  7. Remove the fried camembert with a slotted spoon and place on a wire rack or plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  8. Garnish with 1/2 cup thinly sliced apple wedges and serve immediately. Enjoy the molten cheese heaven!
