"The tradition of Italian cooking is that of the matriarch. This is the cooking of grandma. She didn't waste time thinking too much about the celery. She got the best celery she could and then she dealt with it."--Mario Batali

Ingredients:  
Fried Brie with Nut Crust
1 (8-ounce) round brie cheese
1/3 cup walnuts
1/3 cup almonds
1/3 cup pecans
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 large eggs
1/4 cup whipping cream
Peanut oil (for frying)
Purchased jalapeño jelly
French bread baguette, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
Remove and discard paper and plastic wrapping from cheese. Cut brie cheese round into 4 (2-ounce) wedges. Freeze Brie for 30 minutes.
Finely chop all nuts and sesame seeds in food processor. Transfer to medium bowl; set aside.
In another medium bowl, whisk eggs and whipping cream to blend.
Remove cheese from freezer. Dip each wedge into egg mixture and then into nut mixture, turning to coat and pressing gently to adhere. Transfer to plate; cover with plastic and refrigerate until very cold, at least 45 minutes. (Can be made 6 hours ahead - Keep refrigerated.)
Pour enough peanut oil into heavy large frying pan to reach depth of 1 1/2 inches. Heat over medium-high heat to 350°F.
Working in 2 batches, fry the coated brie wedges until deep golden brown, turning occasionally with metal spatula, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels to drain.
To Serve: Place a small bowl of jalapeño jelly on a platter, and surround it with fried Brie wedges and French bread slices for a lovely presentation.

Makes 4 appetizer servings.
