Easy Fried Goat Cheese
Quick and easy fried goat cheese is crispy on the outside and soft and warm on the inside. This will be a favorite snack or appetizer!
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp Olive Oil enough to cover the bottom of the skillet
- 10 oz Goat Cheese Log I use Chevre cheese
- 1 cup Panko Bread Crumbs
- 1/2 cup Flour
- 1 Egg beaten
- 1 Tbsp Dried Italian Herbs
- 1/4 tsp Salt or alternatively to add saltiness: use 2 Tbsp finely grated Parmesan cheese.
Instructions
- Place goat cheese in the freezer for 15 minutes to harden slightly while you prepare your dipping station.
- Prepare flour and salt in one bowl, the beaten egg in another bowl, and a third bowl with the panko and herbs (and parmesan cheese if using instead of salt).
- Remove the goat cheese from the freezer and slice into 1/2 inch discs. Wipe the knife with a rag of warm water after each cut to enable a clean and easier slice. It is okay if some of the discs need to be patted and reshaped after you slice them!
- Dip each disc of goat cheese first into the flour, then egg, then panko mixture and be sure to coat all sides. Set them aside.
- Pour enough oil in the skillet to cover the bottom and heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.
- Gently add the goat cheese to the oil and fry to a golden brown and then flip to fry the other side. They cook fast so check them and don't leave them! They might take about 2 minutes or less on each side.
- Remove from the pan and enjoy!
