Breaded and Fried Goat Cheese to top a simple salad

I can remember the day I fell in love with goat cheese at Otto's in Covington, Kentucky. Their fried goat cheese salad was one of my favorite meals - the goat cheese was creamy and fried to perfection. They stopped serving it years ago much to my dismay, so this is my slightly healthier version of this dish.
