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.

- For the dressing, mix oils, vinegar and garlic together and season with salt and pepper.
- Toss the mesclun, onion, and toasted walnuts together. Place on a large platter and top with chevre croutons. Drizzle with the dressing. Serve while croutons are still warm.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make your salad sing. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and creamy goat cheese.
- Don't overcrowd the salad: A few simple, fresh ingredients are all you need. Too much going on will make the salad look and taste cluttered.
- Dress the salad lightly: A simple vinaigrette or drizzle of olive oil is all you need to enhance the flavors of the salad. Too much dressing will weigh it down.
- Serve the salad warm: The warm goat cheese is the star of this salad, so serve it while it's still warm and melty.
Conclusion:
This salad is a delicious and easy way to enjoy goat cheese. The warm cheese pairs perfectly with the fresh, crisp salad greens. The vinaigrette adds a touch of acidity and brightness, while the honey brings a touch of sweetness. This salad is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
