Fried goat cheese makes for an easy appetizer, a delicious topping to a salad or served on your favorite burger. This recipe can be made into fried goat cheese disks or fried goat cheese balls. Both are equally delicious.
The first time I had fried goat cheese medallions was on a spinach salad with warm bacon dressing. So many good flavors together! If you make a couple of extras you can save them and serve them when you make a charcuterie and cheese board. Warm or cold, fried goat cheese is amazing! Try it garnished with a crumble of dried sage leaves.
Ingredients Needed
- Goat Cheese - I like a medium firm goat cheese log
- Flour - all purpose flour works well for this recipe. Read why the type of flour matters in some recipes in my post of baking definition.
- Panko bread crumbs - I prefer the crunch and texture of panko bread crumbs for this recipe instead of the homemade bread crumbs that I make for other recipes.
- Egg, Beaten
- Everything but the bagel seasoning (optional)

This Stuff Slapps!
Don't knock it till you try it, this stuff slaps. If you're afraid of it being too "goaty" in flavor, get some that had a shorter aging time. The flavor gets stronger and the cheese gets harder the more it's aged.

Delicious!
Made without everything seasoning and with garlic salt instead. Topped with bacon, green onions and honey Dijon vinaigrette on spring mix. The sweet-salty-savory-tangy balance was on point.

Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:
Tips for making fried goat cheese:
Press the panko bread crumbs firmly into the cheese.
Add a teaspoon or two of Everything But The Bagel Seasoning to the bread crumbs for an added layer of flavor.
What type of goat cheese is best for frying?
I use a plain 4-ounce log of goat cheese that I find in the cheese case at my grocery store. Feel free to use a flavored goat cheese such as honey goat cheese or goat cheese with herbs.
If you are making a double or triple batch, get the larger goat cheese log. I like the log because it can easily be scooped out if I am making balls or simply sliced with dental floss to make the goat cheese disks.
