FRIED CAMEMBERT CHEESE WITH CURRANT COULIS
Steps:
- Prepare Currant Coulis: Place currants in a small saucepan with the water and sugar. Bring to a boil and cook gently for 10 to 12 minutes, or until soft. Puree through a food mill, and add currant vodka and a little more water if it's too thick. Set aside.
- Prepare Fried Camembert: Slice cheese into 6 wedges and refrigerate until very cold and firm. Beat eggs in a bowl and place flour and bread crumbs in separate individual bowls. When cheese is cold, dip each wedge, one at a time, in flour, patting off any excess. Then dip in eggs, drain, and coat with bread crumbs. Be meticulous about covering every spot of cheese. Reserve coated cheese on a platter in freezer for 10 minutes.
- Dip each wedge in eggs and bread crumbs again, being careful to drain the eggs and thoroughly coat with bread crumbs. Place in freezer for another 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Heat oil in a large stockpot or saucepan to deep-fry temperature (350 degrees F). Fry wedges, three at a time, until golden brown, about 1 minute. Do not stir, since the breading is easily broken. Carefully remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Transfer to a large roasting pan and bake for 5 minutes.
- To serve, coat each plate with Currant Coulis. Top with wedge of cheese and serve immediately, accompanied by a shot of black currant vodka.

Tips:
- Choose the right camembert. For the best results, use a camembert that is fully ripe but still holds its shape. Avoid camembert that is too soft or runny, as it will be difficult to fry without breaking.
- Use a light coating of flour. This will help to create a crispy crust on the camembert without overpowering the flavor of the cheese.
- Fry the camembert in a hot skillet. This will help to prevent the cheese from sticking to the pan and ensure that it cooks evenly.
- Cook the camembert for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Do not overcook the camembert, as it will become dry and crumbly.
- Serve the camembert immediately with your favorite accompaniments. Some popular options include currant coulis, honey, and roasted nuts.
Conclusion:
Fried camembert is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With its crispy crust and gooey center, it is sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy snack or appetizer, try making fried camembert. You won't be disappointed!
