Crispy Fried Goat Cheese
February 20, 2012 § 16 Comments
Food blogging has introduced me to so many new ingredients that it’s crazy to think that, this time last year, I didn’t even know about half of the foods that are now my staples! Goat cheese is one of those foods that food blogging has introduced me to. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but I love it.
Last week, after making the Bacon, Date, and Goat Cheese Galette, I was left with half a roll of goat cheese just waiting to be used. Now if there’s one thing I need to work on (other than procrastination) it would be wasting food. I don’t do it intentionally, of course, but far too many times I’ve put something half used into the fridge, forgot about it, and then discovered it a week or two later after it has spoiled. 
I definitely didn’t want that to happen. Especially not with goat cheese. Goat cheese is too good to waste so I decided to take action. Immediately I got on Google and started searching for some goat cheese recipes. I stumbled across this recipe for Crispy Fried Goat Cheese and right away I knew I was in love.
Crispy, crunchy breading filled with ooey gooey melted goat cheese? These are like a more sophisticated (and more delicious) version of mozzarella sticks.
And yes, they’re just as delicious as they look!
Fried cheese? Does it get better than that?!
Don’t worry, you’re not alone. I definitely have the same problem. I really want to work on it, too. I get it from my mom! She’s a LOT worse than I am, though. I’m always cleaning out her fridge whenever I visit haha. Blogging introduced me to goat cheese too! Now I barely ever go a day without having even just a little bit. Maybe that’s a lot of goat cheese… but I love it!
I’m pretty sure there is no such thing as too much goat cheese.
You’re my new best friend.
Yum! This definitely combines my love of fried stuff with my love of cheese!
Goat cheese is literally amazing – I’ve loved it for several years now, though quite a lot of people don’t particularly go for it. When I saw this, my thought was oh my God… it’s just so appealing to me
Your salad looks so delicious. What kind of dressing did you put on top?
BAM
I just used some store-bought blue cheese vinaigrette.
this looks so good! Definetly something I need to try
You now have me craving goats cheese.
When I managed in a restaurant, I got to eat anything off the menu (except lobster!). I could have easily had filet mignon every night, but I 9 times out of 10 would have one of our appetizers:
garlic toast rounds topped with crispy goat cheese, that was on a bed of thinly sliced proscuitto, and then drizzled with a balsamic glaze – so fricken good! Now that I have the recipe to make the goat cheese, I may need to make that soon!
Thanks!
Oh my goodness, that sounds like my kind of job! That appetizer sounds delicious, by the way!

I love goat cheese and these look amazing! Definitely a must-try!
Honestly I came to your blog because of the brownies but the great look (photography) on these fried goat cheese morsels was amazing. Do you do you own photography? You must have used natural lighting. Anyway, I did not give up chocolate for any reason so back to the brownies! Great blog!
