Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients:
- 8 oz goat cheese (log-style, chilled)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg (beaten)
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- vegetable oil for frying
- honey and fresh thyme for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Slice and Prepare: Slice the chilled goat cheese log into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Coat each round in flour, then egg, and finally panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and salt.
- Chill: Refrigerate the coated rounds for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
- Fry: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and fry the rounds in batches until golden and crispy.
- Serve: Drain the fried goat cheese rounds on paper towels and serve warm with honey and fresh thyme.
Notes
- Chilling the goat cheese before and after breading helps it hold its shape while frying.
- For better results, freeze the rounds for 10 minutes before frying.
- Enjoy the crispy goat cheese over salads, on crostini, or as an appetizer with fruit or jam.
