• Meal Type: Dips
• Ethnicity: American
• Holiday Category: N/A
• Preparation Time: 15-30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1/2 pound brie cheese
• Flour
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 loaf French bread

Directions

1. Remove and discard paper and plastic wrapping from cheese. Coat all surfaces with flour.
2. Beat egg with water in a pie plate until foamy. Dip cheese in egg, then in crumbs, coating well.
3. Heat butter in a small skillet or flameproof stove-to-table casserole just until it foams. Put cheese in pan; cover; cook over low heat about 5 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Turn over and cook, covered, on other side until golden.
4. Remove from heat; make a cut in the cheese so it will run. Serve at once while warm with bread that has been cut into small pieces. Pass around while warm - cheese firms as it cools.
