Description

Ingredients

• 16 oz. goat cheese log
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 tsp. dried parsley
• 1 tsp. dried thyme
• 1/2 tsp. granulated garlic
• 1/2 tsp. ground white pepper
• pinch of kosher salt
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup of flour
• olive oil

Directions

• Grab your goat cheese. Pop it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm it up so it’s easier to slice.
• While your cheese is chilling, put together the stuff you need to bread the cheese. Grab your panko bread crumbs.
• Put the panko in a medium-sized bowl. Add the parsley, thyme, granulated garlic, ground white pepper, and kosher salt. Stir to combine well.
• Crack the eggs in a bowl. Beat to scramble them.
• Line a sheet pan or plate with wax or parchment paper.
• Put the flour on a plate or in a shallow bowl.
• Grab your cheese out of the freezer. Slice it into 1/4 – 1/2-inch pieces. Use a sharp knife.
• Wipe the knife off with a warm, wet paper towel in between cuts.
• Put the cheese in the flour. Flip it gently to coat on both sides.
• Drop the floured cheese into the beaten egg. Flip it gently to coat with egg on both sides.
• Lastly, put it into the seasoned panko breadcrumbs. Flip it to coat on both sides.
• Put it on your lined pan or plate.
• Repeat with the rest of the cheese.
• Put a little olive oil in a nonstick pan. Use just enough to coat the bottom of the pan. Set it on the stove over high heat. When the oil shimmers, you’re ready to fry.
• Grab one of your slices of breaded goat cheese. Set the cheese down gently in the hot oil. It should start to bubble around the edges immediately. Repeat with the rest of the cheese.
• Keep an eye on your cheese…it cooks fast. When the cheese is brown on the bottom (this will happen very quickly), flip it over carefully with a spatula.
• When it’s brown on the second side, remove the cheese from the pan, and transfer to a paper towel or paper bag lined plate.
• Transfer the fried goat cheese to a platter. Serve and enjoy!
