Bites of Crispy Camembert with Redcurrant Jam

Ingredients:

• 1 round of Camembert cheese
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Vegetable oil for frying
• 1/2 cup redcurrant jam

Instructions:

1. Cut the Camembert cheese into bite-sized pieces, and set aside.
2. Place the flour in a shallow bowl. In another shallow bowl, beat the egg. In a third shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and salt.
3. Dip each piece of cheese into the flour, then shake off any excess. Next, dip the cheese into the beaten egg, and then coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Heat about 1 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the cheese bites and fry for about 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
5. Serve the crispy Camembert bites with a dollop of redcurrant jam on top.
