This Fried Goat Cheese Ball recipe from The Whole Smiths is inspired by the Bravo TV show, Vanderpump Rules and it's infamous SUR. A gluten-free dupe of the original is also available and is sure to be a hit with all the Bravoholics.
0 Roll 2 teaspoons of the goat cheese into balls. Place them onto a plate or flat surface and place them into the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes to firm up.
1 Add the breadcrumbs smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and cayenne to a bowl and stir to combine.
2 Once firm, roll the goat cheese balls in the cornstarch. Then, dip the coated goat cheese into the egg and let any excess egg drip off.
3 Roll the coated goat cheese ball into the breadcrumbs and coat them thoroughly.
4 Add the avocado oil to a pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the goat cheese balls to the pan. Cook on each side until they are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.
5 Once browned, remove from pan and drain on a paper towel lined plate.
6 To make the mango dipping sauce, add all of the ingredients to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Additional salt to taste if desired.
7 To serve with the mango dipping sauce, smear some of the mango sauce onto a serving platter and place fried goat cheese balls on top. Drizzle with honey. Serve remaining mango dipping sauce on the side.
8 To serve with marinara dipping sauce, smear some marinara sauce onto a serving platter and place the goat cheese balls on top. Sprinkle chopped basil over top and serve the remaining marinara on the side.
