How to cook deliciously - Fried Goat Cheese Salad

1. Stage

If goat cheese isn't in the shape of a log, place in plastic wrap and shape into a log about 1" in diameter. Freeze cheese until solid, at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.

2. Stage

In a shallow bowl, beat eggs to blend; season with salt and black pepper. Place panko in another shallow bowl.

3. Stage

Slice frozen cheese 1/4" thick. Working one a time, place a slice of cheese in eggs and turn to coat. Place in panko and gently press to adhere. Arrange on a small baking sheet. If cheese starts to get too soft to work with, return to freezer. Once all cheese is coated, freeze 10 minutes.

4. Stage

In a medium skillet over medium heat, heat vegetable oil until hot. Working in batches, fry cheese, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and immediately sprinkle with sea salt. Adjust heat and add more oil between batches as needed.

5. Stage

In a medium bowl, whisk olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, vinegar, and honey; season with salt and black pepper.

6. Stage

In a large bowl, combine arugula, tomatoes, cucumbers, and onion. Toss with desired amount of vinaigrette. Top with fried goat cheese.
