Fried Goat Cheese Salad Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare the Goat Cheese

   Slice the goat cheese into rounds about 1/2 inch thick. Freeze the rounds for about 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.

2. 2

   Set Up Breading Station

   Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with bread crumbs.

3. 3

   Bread the Cheese

   Coat each frozen goat cheese round in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat with bread crumbs. Repeat until all rounds are breaded.

4. 4

   Fry the Goat Cheese

   In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Fry the breaded goat cheese rounds for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.

5. 5

   Assemble the Salad

   In a large bowl, combine mixed greens, sliced red onion, candied pecans, and halved medley tomatoes. Toss gently.

6. 6

   Dress the Salad

   Drizzle honey mustard vinaigrette over the salad and toss to combine.

7. 7

   Top with Goat Cheese

   Place the fried goat cheese rounds on top of the salad. Serve immediately.
