4 servings
For the cheese bites
- 8 oz fresh goat cheese log
- ½ cup rice flour
- ½ tsp fine sea salt
- ¼ tsp dried thyme
- 2 pasteurized eggs, beaten
- ½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup avocado oil or canola oil, for frying
Chef's tipAvocado oil is neutral and handles high heat, making it a good all-purpose swap.
For serving
- 2 tbsp honey
- 2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, roughly chopped (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a sharp knife or unflavored dental floss, slice the goat cheese log into 12 rounds, each about 3/4 inch thick. Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet and freeze for 25–30 minutes, until firm to the touch and holding their shape.

Set up a three-stage breading station: in the first shallow bowl, whisk together the rice flour, sea salt, and dried thyme; in the second, the beaten pasteurized eggs; in the third, the gluten free breadcrumbs.
