How To Make goat cheese "croquettes"

  • Step 1

  • Step 2
    Slice the Goat Cheese into 8 slices
  • Step 3
    Roll the slices into small roundish balls.

    Dip the ball into the flour, then the egg, then the panko, coating evenly. Place on a small plate. When all are done move plate to refrigerator for ½ hour or so.
  • Step 5
    Heat a saucepan to medium heat, pouring extra virgin olive oil in to cover the bottom nicely, (bout 1/8” deep)
  • Step 6
    Take one of the panko balls and fry gently, rotating till all sides are lightly browned. Place on a plate on paper towels to drain. Repeat till all are done.
  • Step 7
    Place a servings worth of salad greens on plate. Use dressing as desired. Place goat cheese croquettes on top of salad. Salt and pepper if you like.
