Fried Goat Cheese Recipe

Preparation Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Goat Cheese

   Slice the goat cheese log into 1/2 inch rounds and place them in the freezer for about 15 minutes to firm up.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs seasoned with salt and pepper.

3. 3

   Bread the Cheese

   Remove the goat cheese rounds from the freezer. Dredge each round in flour, dip in egg, and coat with breadcrumbs. Set aside on a plate.

4. 4

   Fry the Cheese

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded goat cheese rounds and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.

5. 5

   Make the Vinaigrette

   In a small bowl, whisk together sriracha, fresh orange juice, honey, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

6. 6

   Assemble the Dish

   On a plate, arrange a bed of arugula. Top with the fried goat cheese rounds and drizzle with the sriracha-citrus vinaigrette before serving.
