Description
These Fried Goat Cheese Balls are perfectly creamy and melty on the inside and golden and crispy on the outside. They’re drizzled with a spicy honey and make the perfect appetizer, bite-sized snack for any party and a salad topping!
Cut goat cheese into 12 slices and roll each slice into a ball.
Prepare three small bowls. In one bowl add tapioca flour. In the second bowl add egg and beat with a fork. Add breadcrumbs and paprika into the third bowl.
Coat goat cheese balls in tapioca flour, dip in egg and then fully coat in breadcrumbs. Place coated balls in a single layer on a baking sheet or plate and freeze for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat avocado oil in a small saucepan until very hot (around 380F). Using a slotted spoon, carefully add 3-5 goat cheese balls at the time and cook 2 to 2 and a half minutes or until golden brown. Remove cheese balls from oil and and drain on layered paper towels.
Meanwhile, place honey, red pepper flakes and cayenne pepper in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a small jar. Drizzle fried goat cheese balls with spicy honey and serve immediately.
