Secret Ingredient Fried Goat Cheese

Instructions

1. Freeze the goat cheese log for 15 minutes so it slices more easily and holds its shape when fried.
2. Crack the egg into a shallow bowl, add 1 tablespoon of water and whisk. Put the flour in a second shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in a third. Set the za'atar on a plate nearby.
3. Remove the cheese from the freezer and its packaging, then slice it into 1/2-inch discs.
4. Dip each disc into the egg, then coat in flour, then in breadcrumbs. Shake off excess and set aside on a board or tray. Refill the flour and breadcrumbs if they run low.
5. Heat about 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the discs without crowding the pan.
6. Fry until golden on one side, then flip and fry the other side for about 30 seconds per side until golden.
7. Remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
8. While still hot, roll each disc in the za'atar and shake off any excess.
9. Transfer to a serving plate and serve straight away.
