SALAD WITH WARM GOAT CHEESE
Steps:
- Slice the Montrachet into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices. (The easiest way to slice goat cheese is to use a length of dental floss.) Dip each slice into the beaten egg whites, then the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated. Place the slices on a rack and chill them for at least 15 minutes.
- For the dressing, place the vinegars, sugar, salt, pepper, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend for 1 minute. With the motor running, slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube until the vinaigrette is thickened. Season, to taste.
- Toss the salad greens with enough dressing to moisten, then divide them among 6 plates.
- Melt 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat until just under smoking. Cook the goat cheese rounds quickly on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside. Top each salad with 2 warm rounds and serve.

Steps:
- Put the garlic slices and oil in a small glass bowl and microwave on high power for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and stir in the balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Using a sharp knife dipped into hot water and wiped dry, a cheese wire, or a piece of (unflavored) thick dental floss, slice the goat cheese into 8 pieces slightly less than 1 inch thick. Place on a large plate. Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Place the flour, eggs, and panko in three separate shallow bowls. Coat each slice of goat cheese with flour, shaking to remove any excess. Dip into the eggs and turn to coat well, and then dip into the panko, turning and pressing lightly to coat well. Place on the lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until ready to fry. Trim off the tough bottom ends of the asparagus spears. Peel the stems, and then cut into diagonal pieces about 2 inches in length. Cook the asparagus in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water for about 1 minute after the water returns to a boil. Immediately plunge the cooked asparagus into a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking. Drain well and refrigerate until ready to use. Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the cheese slices and cook until lightly browned on the first side, about 2 minutes. Turn and cook until golden on the second side. Remove and place on a baking sheet lined with several layers of paper towels to drain. The Cheese can be kept warm on a baking sheet in a 200-degree oven for up to 30 minutes. To serve, place 4 pieces of tomato in the center of each of four large chilled plates. Top with 2 spears of the asparagus. Place the greens on top of the vegetables, and spoon the vinaigrette over all. Place 2 slices of the warm goat cheese on one side of each salad and serve.
PANKO-CRUSTED RACK OF LAMB
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil.
- In a medium bowl, crumble the goat cheese with a fork. Add the panko, garlic, rosemary, thyme, 1 teaspoon fleur de sel, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons olive oil and stir to moisten the crumbs. Set aside for a few minutes or cover and refrigerate.
- Remove the racks of lamb from the refrigerator 30 minutes before you plan to cook them. Place the lamb, fat side up, on the prepared pan. Sprinkle with 2 teaspoons fleur de sel and 1 teaspoon pepper. Roast for 12 minutes exactly. Remove from the oven and, working quickly, use a knife to spread the mustard on the top of the lamb. Spread the crumb mixture evenly on the mustard, pressing gently to help the mixture adhere. Return the lamb to the oven right away and continue roasting for another 12 to 18 minutes (depending on the size of the lamb), until the crumbs are golden brown and the meat is 120 degrees F for rare or 125 degrees F for medium rare. (Insert an instant-read thermometer horizontally through the meat.)
- Cover loosely with aluminum foil and allow the lamb to rest for 8 minutes. Cut the racks into single or double chops and serve hot.

ASPARAGUS GALETTE WITH GOAT CHEESE
This asparagus galette could be an appetizer or a side dish, or you could top it with an egg and serve it as an entree. While I prefer to make my own whole wheat crust to add a nutty flavor, you could use a refrigerated crust instead. Cooking all vegetables before assembling the galette adds flavor and expels most of the moisture, so the crust gets crispy in the oven. If you want to save time, use caramelized onion jam instead of caramelizing the leeks. -Kellyn Kemmerer, Baltimore, Maryland
