Instructions

  1. Cut the camembert into 4 or 8 wedges. Freeze them for 20 minutes so they hold their shape better during frying.
  2. Prepare three plates: the salted and peppered flour, the beaten eggs, the breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip each wedge in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, pressing them on firmly.
  4. Heat the oil to 175 °C in a small saucepan; a piece of bread should sizzle immediately.
  5. Fry the wedges for 2 to 3 minutes, until nicely golden, then drain them on kitchen paper.
  6. Serve straight away with the cranberry jam and the salad.

Variations and tips

Oven version. Coat the wedges as above and bake them for 10 minutes at 200 °C on an oiled tray.
