crumbed camenbert,is going to be on the menu at ours for those who don't like seafood:

Crumbed Camembert (or Brie)

Serve plain withcherries or grapes, with a side accompaniment of tartcranberry sauce .

Cut cheese into bite sized wedges.
Dip into flour, thenbeaten egg,, and then into veryfinely crushed wine biscuits . Repeat the egg and crumb layers to reacha firm, fairly thick coating.
Refrigerate until needed. The cheese should be very cold when cooked.

About 10 mins before serving take from the fridge and using a slotted spoon deep fry ina small pot of hot oil (200C)Remove and drain on absorbent paperas soon as the crumbed coating is golden brown.
If cut immediately thecheese inside will be runny, if left to stand for 5 mins the inside will be firmer.
