Fried Goat Cheese Croutons

I needed croutons. Oh, but not the ‘usual’ croutons. Not dried crunchy bread croutons. Nope. Cheese croutons.

To make them a bit easier to slice, place the goat cheese logs into the freezer for 30 minutes. Then slice into 1/2" thick slices.
Heat 1" of oil in a deep fryer or Dutch oven to 375 F.
Place flour in a small bowl or pie pan.
Place beaten eggs into another small bowl or pie pan.
Place breadcrumbs in another small bowl or pie pan.
Working in batches, dip the cheese slices into the flour.
Shake off the excess then dip them into the eggs.
Finally, roll the cheese in the breadcrumbs.
Add to hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes per side, flipping once.
Remove to a paper-towel lined plate to cool and drain.

Also great in tomato soup!
