Creamy, melt-in-your-mouth bites of fried goat cheese, made easily at home! Serve as a party appetizer, salad “croutons”, or with crackers for a cozy night in. With honey and chopped chives, these poppers = perfection!
I have been obsessed with fried goat cheese for years! Any time these little mouthwatering morsels are on a restaurant menu, I’m ordering. One for myself, and one for you, so we can share… but I will probably try and distract you while I eat them all.
After a recent tapas date (where I continued to work on my sharing), I decided it was finally time to whip up some creamy, crispy goat cheese bites in my own kitchen! These were VERY quick and easy to make, and the perfect sweet-salty combination with a honey drizzle and sprinkle of chives.
These are super fun to serve with crackers and salami for a cozy night in, and makes enough to feed a party crowd. A glass of red wine on the side doesn’t hurt, either!
For a fancy topping on your green salads, stirred into hot veggies and pastas, or served pretty on a platter, you can’t go wrong with these one-bite goat cheese poppers!

This looks so good! Can you make with other kinds of cheese?
Thanks for sharing! How far ahead of time can I make them?
I have never tried other types of cheese, so couldn’t comment on the success of it. Sorry!
You can roll into balls and refrigerate or freeze up to 3 days ahead. But, don’t coat with panko until you’re ready to fry.
Does this fry up well in an air fryer?
Sorry, I’ve never made these in an air fryer. I’m not sure.
Thanks for the recipe! They were a crowd-pleaser alongside my charcuterie board!
Can you substitute almond flour for regular flour to make this a Keto recipe?
Great dish!
Thanks for sharing.
Amazing recipe! Thanks for sharing.
Hey I made these. I followed the recipe to the t and it turned out EXACTLY how it was supposed to. I unfortunately forgot that goat cheese has that weird taste to it and I’m not sure if I like it yet or not. 5/5 for recipe working how it was supposed to but my mouth is just :/
