This sounds like a yummy recipe to serve during the holidays! Made with fresh goat cheese I'll bet it's even tastier! What would you seve it with other than marinara sauce?
Pretzel-Coated Fried Goat Cheese
Crush 2 cups mini pretzels in a food processor (or in a sealed plastic ziptop bag by pounding with a rolling pin), and pour into a bowl.
In a shallow bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with 2 Tbsp water. Place 1/2 cup flour in a third bowl.
Slice (4-oz) goat cheese logs into quarters. Dip each round into flour, shaking off excess. Then dip into egg, drop into pretzel crumbs and turn to coat thoroughly.
In a medium skillet, heat 1/2-inch olive oil over medium heat. Gently lay 4 of the goat cheese rounds in skillet and fry about 45 seconds. Turn with a slotted spatula and fry the other side until golden and crisp, 30 to 45 seconds.
Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to drain. Repeat steps with remaining 4 rounds.
Serve with marinara sauce for dipping and a sprinkling of chopped parsley.
