Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking sheet with olive oil.
• Shape the goat cheese into small bite-sized balls about 1 inch in diameter.
• Set up a dredging station: place flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in the second, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder and black pepper in the third.
• Coat each goat cheese ball first in flour, then in egg, and finally in the breadcrumb mixture. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 18-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
• Remove from oven and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
