Instructions

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Slice goat cheese into 6 discs. Gently press into ball shape, including any cheese that may crumble off as it is sliced.
Add to a small dish or plate and cover with olive oil, garlic cloves, and lemon slices. Cover with plastic wrap and let marinate at least 1 hour, up to overnight, in the refrigerator.
In a plate or shallow bowl, mix panko, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
Remove cheese from olive oil marinade and roll in panko, making sure to coat cheese well in breadcrumbs and seasoning.
Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake 15 minutes, flipping once if desired (carefully slide onto spatula to flip), until breadcrumbs are golden brown.
Remove from oven and let set at least 5 minutes before moving from baking pan.
In a large bowl, toss butter lettuce, champagne vinaigrette, and pears.
Place into 3 bowls and top each bowl with 2 goat cheese balls.
Serve!
