Crispy Cheese — an easy way to make dinner yummy

Last night I had the opportunity to cook dinner, but I had no recipes in mind. So I came up with the following to add to some simple sauteed chicken breasts and kale.

Ingredients:

• goat cheese or cream cheese approx. 4 oz
• handful of sliced almonds or other kind of nuts chopped (optional)
• handful of dried cranberries or other kind of dried fruit
• last few crackers & crumbs or any kind of bread/cracker crumbs
• olive oil 1–2 swishes around the pan

Directions:

1. mash up goat or cream cheese in a bowl with nuts & fruit
2. pre-heat olive oil in a medium fry pan
3. shape one spoonful of the mixture into a patty like shape, then roll it around in the cracker crumbs
4. repeat until all cheese mixture is gone
5. when olive oil is hot enough drop the cheese patties into the oil, cook for about 30 seconds then flip and cook another 30 seconds. Don’t cook too long because the cheese will start getting to soft.
6. serve with salad, chicken, or what ever you want.

Even Jonathan ate the goat cheese, which he normally does not like. He even polished off his Kale so he could have seconds on the cheese.
