Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. 
  • Slice goat cheese into 6 discs. Gently press into ball shape, including any cheese that may crumble off as it is sliced. 
  • Add to a small dish or plate and cover with olive oil, garlic cloves, and lemon slices. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate at least 1 hour, up to overnight, in the refrigerator. 
  • In a plate or shallow bowl, mix panko, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. 
  • Remove cheese from olive oil marinade and roll in panko, making sure to coat cheese well in breadcrumbs and seasoning. 
  • Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 
  • Bake 15 minutes, flipping once if desired (carefully slide onto spatula to flip), until breadcrumbs are golden brown. 
  • Remove from oven and let set at least 5 minutes before moving from baking pan. 
  • Serve!
