Parmesan Herb Crusted Brie

  • 1 wheel of brie (8 oz)
  • 1 large egg, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs
  • ½ teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon fresh garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup canola oil
  • Crackers or sliced baguette for serving
  1. Chill the brie in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm it up and make it easier to fry without melting too quickly.
  2. In a shallow dish, mix the Parmesan, bread crumbs, rosemary, thyme, and garlic. 
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon of water.
  4. Dip the brie in the egg wash, then press it into the Parmesan- breadcrumb mixture to coat.
  5. Heat the canola oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until hot.
  6. Fry the brie for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Flip carefully with a spatula or tongs.
  7. Remove the brie from the pan and let it rest on a paper towel for a minute. Serve with crackers or baguette.
