Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz) goat cheese log
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (or panko)
- Canola oil, for frying
Instructions
- Slice the goat cheese log into ½-inch thick rounds.
- Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Coat each goat cheese round first in flour, then dip in egg, and finish with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the coating stick.
- Heat ½ inch of canola oil in a skillet over medium heat to 350°F (175°C).
- Fry the coated rounds for 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crisp.
- Drain on paper towels and serve warm, with a dipping sauce or over salad greens.
Notes
- Add Italian herbs or garlic powder to breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
- Drizzle with honey and sprinkle chopped walnuts for a sweet-savory twist.
- Use panko for an extra light and crispy texture.
- Can be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 12–15 minutes as a lighter alternative.
