8 ounces goat cheese
0.5 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 eggs
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup vegetable oil
Directions
- Divide goat cheese into equal-sized rounds and place them on a baking sheet, then chill in the freezer for 10 minutes.
- Set up a breading station with three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs.
- Season flour with salt and pepper, ensuring even distribution of the seasonings for balanced flavor.
- Coat each cheese round in flour, then dip in egg, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat until shimmering, indicating the oil is hot enough for frying.
- Carefully add cheese rounds to the pan and fry for approximately 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the rounds, placing them on paper towels to drain excess oil before serving.
