Crisped Goat Cheese Salad

We had this "wow" salad a couple of weeks ago. It is a dinner party crowd pleaser- your guests will think you're a real chef.

Here's what to do:

1 - Mince half a jalapeno and a few chive sprigs. Place in a bowl with salt and pepper.

2 - Heat up a frying pan with oil- at medium high heat. The oil has to be hot hot hot for this; so allow time to heat up.

3 - Once oil is ready, take semi-firm goat cheese right from the fridge and mix into jalapeno mixture....you have to act fast, so the cheese stays cold and somewhat hard.

4 - Make small cheese patties like the one in the pic, and place into Panko breadcrumbs and then into the oil.

5- Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden.

Salad assembly:

- On individual salad plates, place a bed of arugula, sprinkle with lemon juice, balsamic, oil and a slight drizzle of honey. Place hot cheese on top and season with salt and pepper.


Moolicious!
