Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil plus more for tossing with greens

Instructions
- Line a small, shallow baking dish with parchment paper.

Use tongs to dip each round first into olive oil, then breadcrumb mixture to coat all sides and place in prepared baking dish. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
- When ready to bake goat cheese, preheat oven to 450˚F.
- Bake goat cheese rounds, uncovered 10 minutes, or until breading is crisp and golden brown and cheese is soft.
