Take one Brie wedge, holding it by the skewer. Dip it thoroughly into the whisked egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat it completely in the Panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere. For an extra crispy crust, dip the wedge back into the egg and then again into the Panko breadcrumbs, ensuring a double layer of coating. Place the breaded wedge on a plate or baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining Brie wedges.

In a deep pot or Dutch oven, pour the vegetable oil to a depth of about 3-4 inches. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F. Use a kitchen thermometer to monitor the temperature.

Carefully lower 2-3 breaded Brie wedges (still on their skewers) into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for 2-3 minutes, or until golden-brown and crispy on all sides. Adjust heat as needed to maintain oil temperature.

Using a slotted spoon or spider, carefully remove the fried Brie bites from the oil and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Remove the wooden skewers before serving. Serve immediately while warm and gooey.
