Directions

Take a log of Grand Coeur Chèvre and cut it into equal pieces about 1 heaping teaspoon in size. You should get 24 pieces.
Roll each piece of goat cheese into a small, round ball. It helps to wear disposable kitchen gloves to keep the balls neat.
Place flour in a small mixing bowl, then drop the goat cheese rounds into the flour and toss to thoroughly coat.
Transfer goat cheese balls to a mixing bowl with beaten eggs. Make sure they are covered on all sides.
Carefully transfer goat cheese to a mixing bowl with panko breadcrumbs, allowing all excess egg to drip off before placing them in the bowl. Toss to evenly coat on all sides with panko. Freeze for 20 minutes! Do not skip this step or the goat cheese balls will fall apart in the oil!
