5 Ingredients or Less (more or less)

It has been a long while since we have had a Food & Family party. Unfortunately due to my having knee replacement surgery. But I am back on the mend and ready to party again. August was hosted by my beautiful niece. And the party was as beautiful as she is. She also shared a secret with us. She is expecting their first baby. A boy. What a joy to have a new little one in the family.

Fried Goat Cheese

 

1 10oz log of goat cheese

1 egg white beaten with 1 Tbsp water

Fresh Bread Crumbs (I used 4 slices white bread with crust removed. Cut into squares and process in food processor until fine)

Canola Oil for frying.

 

Slice goat cheese into 1/4 inch slices. Dip into beaten egg white then into bread crumbs. Lay on flat pan. Refrigerate until firm. I put mine in the freezer for about 15 minutes. Lightly coat frying pan with canola oil. Heat oil. Add goat cheese slices. Fry until golden brown. Be careful not to melt cheese. Arrange on a bed of mixed salad greens and serve with vinegarette.
