Breaded Sauteed Goat Cheese Patties

 

Recipe By : Mollie Katzen, Sunlight Cafe

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 cup soft goat cheese

1/4 cup fine bread crumbs

freshly ground black pepper

1 tablespoon olive oil -- (1 to 2)

OPTIONAL ACCOMPANIMENTS:

English muffins -- or little toasts

olives

thinly sliced radishes

thinly sliced cucumber

tiny cherry tomatoes

 

Crisp on the outside and creamy on the inside, these patties are a

luxurious treat. Eat them plain or accompanied by little toasts and

some vegetables and olives. They also fit perfectly on an English

muffin, or tucked inside a cooked portobello mushroom.

 

You can make these ahead of time and store them in an airtight wrapper

or container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They reheat very

quickly (about 20 seconds on High) in a microwave. You can also keep

the patties warm in a 300 degrees F oven just after cooking them.

 

Makes about 4 servings (2 patties each); easily multiplied

Preparation time: 15 minutes

 

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, then swirl to

coat the pan. When the skillet is very hot, add the coated cheese

patties and saute 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 sauteed 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.
