I don’t want to lie here, but I don’t think I’ve ever had goat cheese before this; well at least not as the star of a recipe.

But I’d been seeing so many of those fancy cheese based recipes over the holidays so I wanted to try something too.

Why did I pick goat cheese? Probably because I was getting these smaller portioned out logs from Costco that just seemed like a good deal for feeding a single person.

There were already too many of those fried balls with spicy honey and such, but I’m not into all that sugar – or the overtly conventional recipes – so here’s something a little different!

Instructions

Slice goat cheese into 8 pieces using a sharp knife (wiping between each slice) or dental floss. Roll into balls.
Transfer to a plate and place in freezer until hardened, about 30 minutes. This is needed so that cheese does not ooze when cooked.
Place sliced bread in air fryer basket and cook at 400˚F for 3 minutes at until toasted.
Tear into pieces, transfer to a small food processor, and process to form crumbs.
Return any large soft pieces to the air fryer, cook another 1-2 minutes, and process again.
In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, dried minced onion, crushed red chili flakes and black pepper, and mix.
In another bowl, whisk egg.
Prepare workstation with 3 bowls: almond flour, whisked egg, and seasoned bread crumbs.
Dredge each ball in almond flour, dip in egg, and place in bread crumb mixture. Use hands to coat all sides, and transfer to parchment lined air-fryer basket.
Leave enough room for air to flow, work in batches if needed.
Cook at 400˚F for 6-8 minutes until golden brown.
Lift out parchment paper and transfer to cooling rack to cool.
Leaving on air fryer basket will make balls melt.
