Ingredients
- 2 (8 ounce) rounds Camembert cheese
- oil for frying
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 (16 ounce) can whole berry cranberry sauce
Instructions
- Freeze Camembert cheese for 30 minutes.
- Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Pour flour into a bowl. Beat eggs and milk together in a separate bowl. Pour bread crumbs into a third bowl.
- Remove cheese from the freezer and cut each round into 6 wedges. Roll each wedge in flour and dip into the egg-milk mixture. Press each wedge into bread crumbs until evenly coated.
- Fry each breaded wedge in the hot oil until bread crumbs are browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer fried cheese to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Serve cranberry sauce on the side.

Reviews
This was a hit at our party. We served it with some fancy jellies instead of cranberry sauce – we will keep this in our repertoire!
The cheese was so soft that I went ahead and froze mine for an hour to be on the safe side. I got lucky and scored ones that were already cut into wedges. These fry up real nice and melt in your mouth as soon as you bite down. Unfortunately I discovered that I do not like Camembert cheese. It was SO sour cream tasting to me. No fault of the recipe though, I just don’t care for the cheese. Hubby did enjoy them and because I only ate one there ended up being leftovers. He said that he thought they were less sour and better then next day so take that for what it is worth. The cranberry sauce is a must!
