Baked Breaded Goat Cheese

My sister-in-law told me about this recipe which she got from Paula Dean. Goat cheese marinated in olive oil, breaded and baked. This is one of my favorite ways to eat goat cheese!

• Ready In: 25 mins
• Serves: 4-6

Ingredients

• 8  ounces  goat cheese
• 2  tablespoons  mixed Italian herbs
• 1⁄2 cup  breadcrumbs
• 2  tablespoons olive oil
•  salt
•  pepper

Directions

1. Cut each goat cheese round in half, down the middle, like separating an oreo cookie.
2. Put in a glass dish and drizzle with olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
3. Cover and marinate overnight.
4. The next day, preheat oven to 400F and in a food-processor, blend white bread with italian herbs to make the bread crumbs.
5. Roll the goat cheese halves in the bread crumbs and place on a baking dish and bake for ten minutes or until the bread crust is golden brown and the cheese soft and oozing.
6. Serve with baguettes.
