How to make French Cheese King: Brie Cheese Sticks
Preparation
Slice the Brie cheese into sticks of your desired size.
Prepare the Coating
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the yolks and whites are fully combined to make an egg wash.
Place the breadcrumbs in a separate plate or shallow dish.
Coat the Cheese Sticks
Dip each cheese stick into the egg wash, ensuring it is fully coated.
Roll the coated cheese stick in breadcrumbs until completely covered.
Fry the Cheese Sticks
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Once hot, place the coated cheese sticks into the oil.
Fry until golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Be careful not to let them burn.
Remove from the pan and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Season
Optionally, sprinkle a little salt over the fried cheese sticks while they are still hot.
