Instructions:

  1. Prepare Nut Coating:

    • In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and finely chopped macadamia nuts.
  2. Prepare Brie:

    • Cut each round of Brie into quarters.
    • Coat each piece of Brie first in flour, then dip in beaten egg.

  4. Chill:

    • Place the coated Brie pieces on a plate or baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. This helps the coating set and keeps the Brie firm during baking.

Recipe Notes:

  • Variations: You can customize this recipe by using different types of nuts or adding herbs to the coating mixture.
  • Presentation: For a beautiful presentation, garnish with fresh herbs or edible flowers.
  • Pairing: This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp white wine or a light fruity cocktail.
