    Fried goat cheese makes for an easy appetizer, a delicious topping to a salad or served on your favorite burger. This recipe can be made into fried goat cheese disks or fried goat cheese balls. Both are equally delicious.

    The first time I had fried goat cheese was on a spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. So many good flavors together! If you make a couple of extras you can save them and serve them when you make a charcuterie and cheese board. Warm or cold, fried goat cheese is amazing! Try it garnished with a crumble of dried sage leaves.

    📝 Notes on the ingredients

    • Goat Cheese - I like a medium firm goat cheese log
    • Flour - all purpose flour works well for this recipe. Read why the type of flour matters in some recipes in my post of baking definition.
    • Panko bread crumbs - I prefer the crunch and texture of panko bread crumbs for this recipe instead of the homemade bread crumbs that I make for other recipes.
    • Egg, Beaten
    • Everything but the bagel seasoning (optional)

    Instructions:

    1. First, slice a log of goat cheese into disks.
    2. Then, season the bread crumbs with a bit of salt, pepper and dried parsley (optional)and toss to combine.
    3. Whisk together the egg with a tablespoon of water to make an egg wash.
    4. Pour the flour on to a clean plate.
    5. Start by pressing the chilled goat cheese into the flour.
    6. Next, dunk the cheese in the egg wash mixture, flipping to coat.
    7. Then, press the goat cheese in the panko bread crumbs.
    8. Heat olive oil in a shallow pan over medium heat.
    9. Fry the goat cheese in the pan flipping every 15-30 seconds until golden brown.
    10. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate and serve immediately for the most delicious results.

    Ways to enjoy fried goat cheese:

    • As an appetizer drizzled with hot honey or topped with something savory such as tomato jam or something sweet such as pear butter.
    • On a spinach salad with strawberries, red onion, and crisp bacon.
    • As part of a cheeseboard.
    • As a topping on a black bean burger

    • Freeze the goat cheese balls for easier rolling.
    • Use a knife that was run under hot water to make slicing easier.

    📝 Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Tips for making fried goat cheese:

    Press the panko bread crumbs firmly into the cheese.
    Add a teaspoon or two of Everything But The Bagel Seasoning to the bread crumbs for an added layer of flavor. 

    What type of goat cheese is best for frying?

    I use a plain 4-ounce log of goat cheese that I find in the cheese case at my grocery store. Feel free to use a flavored goat cheese such as honey goat cheese or goat cheese with herbs.
    If you are making a double or triple batch, get the larger goat cheese log. I like the log because it can easily be scooped out if I am making balls or simply sliced with dental floss to make the goat cheese disks. 4 ounce log of goat cheese on a black slate surface
