I felt like I just had to cook something for dinner for Valentines Day. I had seen Ina Garten on the Barefoot Contessa make a salad with warn goat cheese, and I had been meaning to try it. I didnโt use her salad recipe because I love to pair fresh goat cheese with strawberries and balsamic vinegar. It was really delicious, and I made just made it again for dinner.
1 log of goat cheese
1 egg white with a splash of water
ยฝ cup Japanese Panko Bread crumbs (they are crunchier and flakier)
Slice the goat cheese into ยฝ rounds, dip in the egg and water, press into the panko. Chill the rounds for a few minutes.Heat olive oil and 1 tbs of butter over medium high heat. Cook the goat cheese until each side is lightly brown.For the salad I used a field green mix and tossed it in olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Add the strawberries, goat cheese and finish with a pinch of salt and fresh ground pepper.
