Macadamia Nut Crusted Goat Cheese Recipes

MACADAMIA NUT CRUSTED MAHI MAHI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a medium bowl, stir together the nuts, panko, flour, and butter. Set aside.
• Place a piece of aluminum foil on a baking sheet and brush it liberally with vegetable oil. Place the mahi mahi on the foil and sprinkle each fillet with salt and pepper on both sides. Bake for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush each fillet with the coconut milk. Divide the nut mixture among the tops of the 4 fillets, patting the mixture to spread and adhere to the fillets. Return to the oven and bake for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before serving.

MACADAMIA NUT-CRUSTED GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a small pot over medium-low heat until the oil is hot but not over 230 degrees F. Remove from the heat. Add the red pepper flakes and garlic and set aside to cool and let the flavors infuse into the oil. Reserve 2 tablespoons for coating the Melba toasts and the remaining for the Roasted Parsnip Medley recipe.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the macadamia nuts, panko, white pepper, and a generous pinch of salt. Let cook until the nuts and breadcrumbs have absorbed all the butter and are lightly toasted, 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Transfer to a baking sheet and let cool. Once cool, roll the goat cheese logs in the mixture, making sure they are completely coated. Place on a serving platter.
• Add the Melba toasts to a large bowl. Drizzle the reserved 2 tablespoons garlic-pepper oil and toss so all the toasts are coated with the oil. Serve on the side with the goat cheese logs.
