Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

For vinaigrette:
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper
For bread, cheese and salad greens:
4 bacon slices, halved crosswise
1 petit (8-ounce) French-bread baguette, cut on diagonal into four 1/2-inch-thick pieces
Olive oil as needed
4 ounces goat cheese, sliced
3 cups mixed baby greens

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. For dressing, whisk together oil, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper to taste. Set aside. Cook bacon in a skillet over moderate heat, turning over occasionally, until just crisp. Transfer bacon to paper towels to drain. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and toast in upper third of oven about 6 minutes, until light golden brown. Place one goat cheese slice on each toasted baguette, top with 2 bacon pieces. Place in small oven-safe dish and broil until cheese softens, being careful not to burn bacon, about 2 minutes. To assemble: Heap a bed of baby greens on 2 small plates; drizzle with dressing. Place 2 baguettes with cheese and bacon on each salad.

Tips:

For the best flavor, use fresh goat cheese that is soft and creamy. Avoid using goat cheese that is hard or crumbly.
To prevent the goat cheese from melting too quickly, chill it before cooking.
If you don't have a kitchen torch, you can broil the goat cheese in the oven until it is golden brown and bubbly.
Serve the salad immediately after it is made, while the goat cheese is still warm and melted.
