THIS IS EASY TO MAKE. Please be aware of that and not scared, or indifferent. Fried goat cheese is good ALL BY ITSELF. And then also in many iterations such as on crackers, on a baguette, or ON A SALAD. An absurd amount of things go well with goat cheese. Just to name a few – blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, pesto, apricot, garlic, fig, cranberries, like, all nuts, pomegranate, rosemary. For this one I did HONEY and PISTACHIOS.
A little extra something that makes it even more really really good.
