Ingredients
- 4 medium firm ripe pear
- 57 g unsalted butter
- 454 g Brie with rind
- 2 egg
- 8 tsp lingonberry preserves
- 960 ml water
- 40 g plain wheat flour
- 1000 ml sunflower oil for frying
- 200 g white sugar
- 720 ml dry Rhine or Moselle white wine
- 100 g dry white breadcrumbs
Preparation
Let the butter soften. Remove the Brie rind, mash the cheese with the butter and form 8 balls. Refrigerate for 30 min. Meanwhile peel and halve the pears, remove the cores and make a hollow about 3.2 cm across. Bring wine, water and sugar to a boil. Add pears and gently simmer for about 15 min until tender but intact. Drain and keep briefly warm. The syrup is not used for plating.

Crack and beat the eggs in a bowl. Place flour, beaten eggs and crumbs in separate dishes. Coat cold balls in flour, egg and crumbs, pressing the coating closed. Heat oil to about 175 °C in a tall pan with generous room below the rim. Fry small batches for about 50 s until golden without cheese leaking out. Briefly drain on paper, place on the pear halves and divide the lingonberry preserves over them. Serve immediately. Discard breading contaminated by raw egg.
