To start, you’ll need to prepare your ingredients. For this salad, you’ll need 4 ounces of goat cheese, 8 cups of baby spinach, 1 cup of fresh strawberries, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1 large egg, and 1/4 cup of panko breadcrumbs. Additionally, preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit and wash the spinach and strawberries before letting them dry thoroughly. Crumble the goat cheese into bite-sized pieces and set aside. In a bowl, whisk the egg. In a separate bowl, combine the flour and panko. Dip the goat cheese pieces first in the egg wash, and then in the flour and panko mixture.

Preparing the Ingredients

To ensure the strawberries and spinach are as fresh as possible, give them a good wash and let them dry completely before using them. The strawberries can be sliced into halves or quarters, depending on your preference. For the spinach, you can leave the leaves whole or tear them into smaller pieces if you prefer. Once your ingredients are prepared, you can move on to frying the goat cheese.For the next step, you’ll need to heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Then, add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the goat cheese to the pan. Make sure to space out the goat cheese and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. The fried goat cheese will add a crispy texture and a savory flavor that will elevate your salad to the next level.

Once the goat cheese is done, be sure to transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate to cool. Be careful not to let it sit for too long, or it will become too firm and difficult to break apart. Allow it to cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will help the cheese maintain its shape and prevent it from melting too quickly when it is added to the salad. With the goat cheese ready, you can now proceed to assemble the salad.To assemble the salad, start by combining the spinach, sliced strawberries, and fried goat cheese in a large bowl. This combination of flavors and textures creates a tasty and nutritious salad that is sure to satisfy your taste buds.

You can use any salad dressing that you prefer, but a balsamic vinaigrette or raspberry vinaigrette would complement the flavors of the salad nicely. After tossing the salad, transfer it to serving plates and enjoy your delicious and easy fried goat cheese salad.

Frying the Goat Cheese

Paragraph 1 (120 words): Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the goat cheese to the pan. Make sure to space out the goat cheese and let it cook for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. As the goat cheese cooks, it will release oils that will give it a crispy texture that pairs perfectly with the tanginess of the cheese. If you prefer to bake the goat cheese instead of frying it, you can do so by preheating your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and bake it for 10 minutes or until crispy. However, frying the goat cheese is more recommended if you want it to have a better texture.

Paragraph 1 (240 words): After you’ve fried the goat cheese, and it has cooled, you can now move on to assembling the salad.

You can use a raspberry vinaigrette to enhance the sweetness of the strawberries or a balsamic vinaigrette to complement the tanginess of the fried goat cheese.
