1
Prepare the Brie
Remove the Brie cheese from its packaging and place it in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This will help it hold its shape during frying.

2
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with salt and pepper.
3
Bread the Brie
Once the Brie is slightly firm from the freezer, remove it and coat it first in the flour, then dip it into the eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Ensure the Brie is well-coated.

4
Heat the Oil
In a deep pan or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
5
Fry the Brie
Carefully place the breaded Brie into the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown. Turn occasionally to ensure even cooking.
6
Drain and Cool
Once golden brown, remove the Brie from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

7
Plate the Dish
Cut the deep-fried Brie into wedges and serve it warm alongside a small bowl of quince paste and drizzled honey.
