Ingredients

8 oz. goat cheese - cut into one-ounce sections
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg - with a splash of water
1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs
2 Tablespoons olive oil - or avocado oil
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste

Instructions

Prepare goat cheese. Slice the creamy goat cheese log into eight thick slices (one-ounce sections). Use your hands to squeeze the goat cheese slices together so each round is nice and tightly packed.
8 oz. goat cheese
Set up a dredging station. In three separate bowls, add the flour, the egg, and the bread crumbs.
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, 1/3 cup Italian bread crumbs, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Lightly bread the goat cheese. Dip the goat cheese in the flour, fully coating each one, but shaking off excess. Then dip in the whipped egg, and finally, the bread crumbs. Add some freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Place each round on a clean plate, and refrigerate for at least an hour to ensure they stay together during the cooking process.
Lightly fry the goat cheese. Heat a cast iron skillet to medium-high heat. Drizzle with olive oil, and when hot, place goat cheese rounds in a single layer in the skillet. Cook for a couple of minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown, and then flip to cook the other side. You may need to cook these in small batches depending on your skillet size.
You can also use tongs to fry each breaded goat cheese slice, by holding them up in the pan one at a time. Remove fried cheese to a clean plate.
2 Tablespoons olive oil
Serve. Serve this fried goat cheese on a salad of your choice, or my Fried Goat Cheese Salad with Strawberry Salad Dressing. You can also eat them plain with some crackers.

Notes

Store leftover fried goat cheese slices in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat in a skillet or air fryer, for best results.
