Ingredients
- 1 ear corn, shucked 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
- 10 ounces goat cheese, softened
- 1 lemon, zested
- 1/4 cup freshly chopped parsley leaves
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- 2 eggs 2 cups panko crumbs Salt
- 10 ounces baby greens 1/2 lemon, juiced
Directions
Freshly ground black pepper Preheat grill to medium-high. Brush corn with 1 tablespoon olive oil and grill, turning often, until charred and tender, about 4 minutes. Set aside. In a medium bowl combine goat cheese, zest and parsley. Roll into 16 (1-inch) sized balls and put on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
In a large heavy-bottomed pot, add enough oil to reach 1/3 of the way up the sides. Heat oil to 360 degrees F. Whisk eggs in a small bowl and place panko crumbs on a plate. Dip cheese balls in the egg wash, then roll in the panko crumbs. In batches, carefully transfer balls into the hot oil and fry until golden, about 1 minute. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate and season with salt immediately. Slice corn from cob and add to a serving bowl along with the baby greens. Dress with lemon juice, oil and salt and pepper, to taste. Toss to coat and serve, topped with warm cheese balls.

I give it a 10. To whoever in Greensboro, Ga. - I have often been irritated with cooks on TV that DON'T but their hands in their food!
Tongs belong out on a hot grill - not in the kitchen. Get a life and play with your food.

it was delicious! i love goat cheese and the zest and and the parsley made the goat cheese balls taste light and luscious.
i did my own little thing with the salad. i left out the corm because corn on the cob looks very sad in february and grilled a filet mignon. then i drizzled the whole plate with pomegranite balsamic reduction. it was out of control!
ate it? i INHALED it!

You have to know that you like goat cheese before making this recipe.... I thought I did, but after taking my first bite, I realized not so much. The presentation of the fried goat cheese is awesome, but both my husband and I couldn't finish the 1st one. Next time I might try to make it with a ricotta cheese mix instead..... it is a great idea, but goat cheese is definitely an acquired taste for some.
