Breaded Sautéed Goat Cheese Patties
1 cup soft goat cheese
1/4 cup fine bread crumbs
¼ tsp. Freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Accompaniments:
English muffins or little toasts
Olives
Thinly sliced radishes
Thinly sliced cucumber
Tiny cherry tomatoes
• Place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese on a piece of plastic wrap.
• Cover with another piece of plastic wrap and gently pat and “massage” the cheese into a patty 2 inches in diameter and 3/4 inch thick.
• You can also skip the plastic wrap, and just use your hands.
• Dampen them first, so the cheese won’t stick.
• Repeat with the rest of the cheese.
• You should have 8 patties.
• Place the bread crumbs on a plate, grind in some fresh black pepper, and stir to mix.
• Press the cheese patties into the crumbs until coated on both sides and around the edges.
• Place a heavy, nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 2 minutes.
• Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, wait about 30 seconds and then swirl to coat the pan. When the skillet is very hot, add the coated cheese patties and sauté for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, adding more oil if necessary.
• When they are done to your liking, transfer the sautéed patties to a plate lined with a double thickness of paper towels.
Serve hot or very warm, sprinkled with more freshly ground black pepper, along with your choice of accompaniments.
