Gluten Free Goat Cheese Balls
fried goat cheese balls in gluten free breadcrumbs
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 5 minutes mins
- 8 oz Goat Cheese
- 1 Egg [beaten]
- 1/4 cup Corn Starch
- 1/4 cup Gluten Free Italian Breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp Olive Oil [you can also use avocado oil]
Roll the goat cheese into balls. Then place them onto a plate or flat surface and place them into the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes to firm up.
Before you take your goat cheese balls out of the freezer, get your bowls ready. You want a bowl with corn starch, a bowl for egg [beaten], and a bowl with your breadcrumbs.*You don't want to give the balls any time to thaw out, this will help them from melting and retain their shape* Once firm, roll the goat cheese balls in the cornstarch. Then, dip the coated goat cheese into the egg and let any excess egg drip off.
Roll the coated goat cheese ball into the breadcrumbs and coat them thoroughly.
Add your olive oil to a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the goat cheese balls to the pan. Cook on each side until they are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
Serve them however you choose!
Enjoy!
Goat Cheese Balls are the perfect bite sized appetizer. You can eat them really however you'd like. Like I said, if you're a Vanderpump Rules fan like me, you know they serve their with vegetables and a mango dipping sauce. You can also serve them with marinara sauce, which would be kind of like a mozzarella stick only with goat cheese! Delicious!
I like to eat mine in a salad! On top of a bed of lettuce I add purple grapes, honeycrisp apples, dried cranberries, candied walnuts [double check that they're gluten free], and a creamy balsamic salad dressing! It's perfection!
