- Wearing rubber gloves, roll tablespoons of goats cheese into even-sized balls. Roll each cheese ball in the flour, then dip in the egg mix and dredge in the panko crumb.
- Coat each ball again with the egg and panko crumb (the double crumb with make the balls extra crunchy) and set aside on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes or until firm.
