For an even more intense flavor, try using a flavored oil for frying, such as garlic-infused or herb-infused oil. If you don't have panko bread crumbs, regular bread crumbs will work, but the panko provides a superior crispness. Be careful not to overcook the Camembert, as it can become too runny and lose its shape. For a sophisticated twist, garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary or thyme.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
30 mins
Place the Camembert rounds in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm them up. (30 minutes)
02
Step
10 mins
Preheat your deep-fryer or a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan filled with at least 3 inches of oil to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Ensure adequate ventilation. (10 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Prepare your breading station: In a shallow dish, place the seasoned flour. In another, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third, spread out the panko bread crumbs. (5 minutes)
04
Step
15 mins
Remove the Camembert from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each round into 6 wedges. Working quickly, dredge each wedge in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Dip the floured wedge into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, press the wedge into the panko bread crumbs, making sure it is evenly coated on all sides. (15 minutes)
05
Step
9 mins
Carefully lower the breaded Camembert wedges into the hot oil, working in batches to avoid overcrowding the fryer. Fry for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until the bread crumbs are golden brown and the cheese is melted and oozing. (6-9 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Remove the fried Camembert wedges with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (2 minutes)
07
Step
2 mins
Serve immediately while the cheese is hot and melty, with a generous dollop of cranberry sauce on the side for dipping. (2 minutes)
