BREADED GOAT'S CHEESE

Categories     appetizer

Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 portions washed salad greens like mesclun tossed with vinaigrette or 2 Granny Smith apples, cored and cut into wafer thin rounds
Vegetable oil for frying
1/4 cup flour
1 egg lightly beaten
1 1/2 cups fresh white bread crumbs
Eight 1 1/2 round 1/2-inch thick disks of fresh goat's cheese

Steps:

  • Prepare dinner plates with a bed of dressed mesclun salad or apple slices.
  • In a deep pot, slowly heat to 350 degrees enough vegetable oil to completely submerge the disks when deep fried. While this is heating up, set flour, egg and bread crumbs in a 3 separate shallow plates; dip each disk of cheese in flour, then in beaten egg and finally in fresh bread crumbs, making sure breading completely adheres to all surfaces leaving no cheese exposed.
  • With a slotted spoon or skimmer, lower the breaded cheese into the oil. Do not overcrowd or the temperature of the oil will be lowered considerably and the cheese will be greasy. Fry for 45 seconds only or until the crust is deep golden brown. Briefly drain on absorbent towels and serve immediately on garnished plates.
  • Variations: you can marinate the goats' cheese first in a mixture of olive oil, crushed black peppercorns, herbs and garlic. Pat dry before breading.
  • Mix some ground pecans or walnuts with bread crumbs.
  • Before breading, sandwich an anchovy fillet or chopped canned green chilis between two 1/4inch rounds of mozzarella.

GOAT CHEESE AND FIG QUICK BREAD



Goat Cheese and Fig Quick Bread image

Here's a recipe from France, where savory loaf cakes are often served with drinks before dinner. This one started with bits of goat cheese and snips of dried figs, and then moved closer and closer to the Mediterranean. It's got fruity olive oil, a handful of parsley (for brightness), a little rosemary and thyme (to set the mood and further establish the locale), some honey (always good with goat cheese) and scrapings of clementine zest (for surprise). You can use a neutral oil, if you'd like, olive or dried tomatoes instead of figs, basil instead of parsley, lemon instead of orange, or experiment with other cheeses. The loaf's pleasantly crumbly, and best enjoyed cut into thick slices.

Time 50m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

Nonstick cooking spray or butter
4 ounces/115 grams very cold soft goat cheese
4 moist, plump dried figs (such as Kalamata), cut into 1/4-inch bits
1/3 cup/20 grams finely chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme
1 3/4 cups/225 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup/80 milliliters whole milk, lukewarm
1/3 cup/80 milliliters olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 clementine or 1/2 tangerine

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven and heat the oven to 350 degrees. Coat an 8- to 9-inch loaf pan with baking spray (or butter the pan).
  • Cut the goat cheese into 1/2-inch pieces. It's a sticky, messy job, so don't aim for perfection. Refrigerate the cheese until needed.
  • In a small bowl, toss together the figs, parsley, rosemary and thyme; keep at hand.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and pepper. Working in a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the milk, oil and honey.
  • Pour the wet ingredients over the flour mixture, and, using a sturdy spatula, stir until the dough is almost blended. You'll still see streaks of flour, and that's fine. Scatter the fig mixture over the dough, and then cover with the chilled bits of goat cheese. Grate the zest of the clementine or tangerine over the cheese. Using as few strokes as possible, stir everything together. Once again, it might not be perfect, and, once again, that's fine. Scrape the dough into the pan, and use the spatula to poke the dough into the corners and to even the bumpy top.
  • Bake for 34 to 38 minutes or until the top is golden, the cake has started to pull away from the sides of the pan, and, most important, a tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Unmold the cake onto a rack, turn it right side up and let it cool. You can serve the cake when it's slightly warm (it's not so easy to cut then, but it's delicious) or when it is at room temperature. Cut into thick slices. Wrapped well, the cake will keep for a day or two at room temperature.

Time 25m

1 (8 ounce) goat cheese log
2 cups marinara sauce
¼ teaspoon kosher or sea salt

Tips:

  • Choose the right goat cheese: A firm goat cheese that can hold its shape when fried is best. Fresh goat cheese or a soft, spreadable goat cheese will not work well.
  • Bread the goat cheese twice: This will help to ensure that the cheese is evenly coated and that the breading stays on during frying.
  • Use a high-quality breadcrumb: Panko breadcrumbs or seasoned breadcrumbs will give the goat cheese a crispy coating.
  • Fry the goat cheese in hot oil: This will help to quickly cook the cheese and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Serve the goat cheese immediately: Breaded goat cheese is best served hot and fresh out of the fryer.

Conclusion:

Breaded goat cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It is perfect for parties or potlucks, and it can also be served as a main course with a side salad. With its crispy breading and creamy, tangy center, breaded goat cheese is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
