- Pull off small pieces of goat cheese and roll into bite-sized balls.
- Pour panko breadcrumbs into a bowl; roll goat cheese balls in breadcrumbs until coated.
- Heat olive oil and garlic in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir goat cheese balls in the hot oil for 15 to 30 seconds. Scoop them back into the bowl of breadcrumbs to create a second coating. Arrange on a rimmed baking tray.
- Set oven rack on top shelf and preheat the oven grill.
- Grill goat cheese balls, shaking baking tray every 30 seconds to 1 minute to ensure even browning, about 2 minutes.
