Remove and discard paper and plastic wrapping from cheese. Cut brie cheese
round into 4 (2-ounce) wedges. Freeze Brie wedges 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 two (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 jalapeņo jelly on a platter, and
surround it with fried Brie wedges and French bread slices for a lovely
presentation.
Makes 4 appetizer servings.
