Not sure if this is anything like the 50's Prime Time Cheese dish you miss, but in case, here is this one:
Fried Boursin - 50s Prime Time Cafe
Ingredients
4 oz. water
4 oz. lettuce mix
3 beaten eggs
2 oz. raspberry sauce (Melba sauce)
1/2 lb. flour, seasoned
1 qt. soybean or canola oil
1/2 lb. bread crumbs, seasoned
1 French Bread, Sliced, toasted (9")
2 Boursin cheese wheels (5 oz. each)
Method:
Cut cheese wheels in half crosswise with a hot dry knife. Dredge cheese in flour then egg and then bread crumbs. Repeat in egg then bread crumbs. Set aside in refrigerator. Fill a cast iron skillet with oil 1/4" high. Heat oil to 350° and fry cheese until golden brown then flip over and fry the other side. Remove from oil and place on paper towel. Place salad mix on center of plate and arrange bread slices around cheese, top with sauce.
Tips
I tried this last night and I did it by cutting the boursin in to 6 peices and cooked it that way. It meant that they were more bite sized peices but still had the same great taste. Didn't try it with the sauce or salad either and found I only used one egg as it is just as a binding agent to attach the breadcrumbs to the boursin.
