Directions:
Crumble the goat cheese into a large bowl. Add sugar, flour, egg, salt, and vanilla. Mix well until smooth. Fold in the grapes.
Fill the skillet with oil to about 1 inch. Place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow bowl. Drop spoonfuls of batter in the panko and coat on all sides, then place on the skillet. Cook on medium heat quickly, about a minute on each side, until golden. Serve with additional grapes.
