Ingredients

  1. ¼ cup orange or lime marmalade
  2. 1 tablespoon brandy (try balsamic instead?)
  3. 115g Australian Gold Camembert, chilled
  4. 2 tablespoons plain flour
  5. 1 egg, lightly beaten
  6. ¼ cup coarsely chopped pistachio nuts
  7. ¼ cup coarse breadcrumbs
  8. extra light olive oil or canola oil, for deep frying

Method

  1. Heat marmalade until melted, stir in brandy and allow to cool.
  2. Coat Australian Gold Camembert with flour, dip in egg and coat in combined pistachio nuts and breadcrumbs.
  3. Dip in egg and crumbs a second time, gently pressing the crumbs to ensure the cheese is well covered. Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes (or up to 2 hours before serving).
  4. Just before serving, deep fry crumbed camembert in hot oil for 3-5 minutes, turning gently, until golden brown.
  5. Serve immediately with Brandied Marmalade.
