Ingredients
- 2 portions washed salad greens, such as mesclun tossed with vinaigrette OR 2 granny smith apples, cored and cut in wafer thin rounds
- vegetable oil for frying
- 1/4 Cup flour
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 1/2 Cups fresh white bread crumbs
- 8 Slices fresh goat's cheese, 1 1/2 round 1/2-inch thick disks
Directions
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.
