Well I tried to make the fried Goat Cheese that I saw on Pinterest. I tweaked the recipe, because honestly i just looked it over and looked at the steps and then kind of “winged” it! It turned out really well. I loved it. Memaw liked it, I did not tell her it was goat cheese, so I have a feeling that is why she ate it. Lee said it was “too cheesy” – I will take that as a dislike, but my hubby isn’t one to eat big chunks of cheese (weirdo!)! I am attaching the link for the original recipe because there are great step by step pictures, the only problem I had is getting the egg to stick to the flour, i really had to just work it on the cheese to get it to stick! I also used whole grain breadcrumbs with panko, just to be different.
I only used 4oz. of cheese, so like 3/4 cup of flour, 1/2 whole grain, 3/4 panko, 1tsp. Pink Salt, 1tsp. Black Pepper, 1tsp. Old Bay, 1tsp. Rosemary. i simplified it down for me since it was my first time. And i only need 1 egg for the small amount of cheese i used. The original recipe is right, they brown fast, so make sure the oil isn’t too hot, and in my small fry pan, i put 4 at a time, and they came out perfect! Again, this is with 4 oz. of cheese, the recipe she uses is for 16 oz. - just keep that in mind.

and these are my pictures (not as fabulous), ~ i am super glad i tried this. It was easy and yummy, and if you are serving them for a mixed crowd, just don’t tell them it’s goat cheese! and if you come to my house and see something that looks like this, do me a favor, try it first before you decide you don’t like it! Enjoy!
