Breaded and golden-fried goat cheese medallions are a great appetizer served with a drizzle of honey, garnished with sliced or diced peppers and spread on baguette slices. These little beauties would also be great atop a green salad.

Time 12m

Yield 6-8 Medallions, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces chevre cheese or 6 ounces goat cheese, log
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/3 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
1 pinch salt and pepper
1 egg, beaten with a little water
1/3 cup flour
1 1/2 cups olive oil
1/3 cup honey, for drizzling
2 roasted red peppers, minced, for garnish
12 slices baguette

Steps:

  • 1. Slice the goat cheese log into 1/2-inch to 3/4-inch medallions. (For easier slicing, make sure the cheese is well chilled. You may place it in the freezer for 10 minutes before slicing. Use unflavored dental floss instead of a knife to get sharp slices.).
  • 2. In a bowl, combine the Panko crumbs, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper.
  • 3. In another bowl, lightly beat the egg with a little water.
  • 4. In a third bowl, place the flour.
  • 5. In a shallow sauté pan, heat about 1/2 inch of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • 6. Dredge the cheese slices in the flour, then dip in egg, and coat with the Panko mixture.
  • 7. Gently place the breaded medallions into the heated olive oil in pan. Fry until golden brown on each side, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
  • 8. Remove from the oil and drain/blot on a paper towel.
  • 9. To serve, place medallions on a serving platter/plate or wooden board. Drizzle each with a little honey and garnish with the peppers. Serve with sliced baguette.
  • These medallions would also be great served atop a green salad.
