Fried Goat Cheese Salad with Grapes and Hazelnuts

8 oz. fresh goat cheese
1 cup plain panko
1 Tbs. minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tsp. dry mustard such as Coleman’s
 Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large egg
1 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbs. sherry vinegar
1-1/2 tsp. pure maple syrup
1/4 cup roasted hazelnut or walnut oil or extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 small head radicchio cored and thinly sliced (about 3 cups)
3 oz. baby arugula (about 3 cups)
12 oz. seedless red grapes halved (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup toasted skinned hazelnuts coarsely chopped

Slice the goat cheese into four 2-oz. disks. Shape the disks into 2-1/2-inch cakes. Freeze in a single layer until firm, about 10 minutes.

Combine the panko, parsley, mustard, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. In another small bowl, beat the egg with 1 Tbs. water.

Dip the goat cheese cakes in the egg mixture, shaking off any excess, and then in the panko mixture. Repeat, coating each cake twice.

Heat the vegetable oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering hot. Fry the cakes, flipping once, until golden-brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes total. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.

Whisk the vinegar, maple syrup, 1/4 tsp. salt, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the nut or olive oil until emulsified.

Toss the radicchio, arugula, and grapes in a large bowl with enough dressing to lightly coat. Divide the salad among 4 plates, top each with a goat cheese cake, sprinkle with the hazelnuts, and drizzle with more of the dressing.

Really giving this 5 stars because of the fried cheese, so good! While it was good, it did really taste better when eaten with some of the salad, so I would still make the salad. Rob did like that this salad was "elevated" (in his words lol). I used the little log of goat cheese from Mercadona, and cut it into 6 equal slices. Next time I would either get 2 logs of cheese to there was more, or maybe cut the salad in half for just one log. I also put the cheese in a deep fryer at high heat and cooked for 4min and it was perfect! though you could also probably cut the panko mix in half (I had a lot leftover).
