SALAD WITH WARM GOAT CHEESE

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 (11-ounce) log plain or herbed Montrachet
2 extra-large egg whites, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Fresh white bread crumbs
2 tablespoons good cider vinegar
2 tablespoons good Champagne vinegar
Pinch sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 extra-large egg yolk
1 cup good olive oil
Enough mixed salad greens for 6 servings
Olive oil and unsalted butter, for frying

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.

  • Rinse and dry the lettuce, tear it into bite-size pieces and arrange it on each of four salad plates.
  • Just before serving time mix the vinegar and mustard together, then beat in the remaining three tablespoons of olive oil. Drizzle the dressing over the lettuce on the plates.
  • Preheat broiler and broil the goat cheese until it is just beginning to color along the edges. Center a portion of goat cheese on toast on each salad, sprinkle with the herbs and pepper and serve at once.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in this salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp lettuce, and creamy goat cheese.
  • Don't overcook the goat cheese: The goat cheese should be warmed through but still slightly soft and gooey in the center. If you overcook it, it will become dry and crumbly.
  • Grill the bread until it is crispy: The grilled bread adds a nice smoky flavor to the salad. Make sure to grill it until it is crispy, but not burnt.
  • Use a good vinaigrette: The vinaigrette is what brings all the flavors of the salad together. Use a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, and salt and pepper.
  • Serve the salad immediately: This salad is best served immediately after it is made. The goat cheese will start to cool and harden as it sits, so don't let it sit for too long before serving.

Conclusion:

This warm goat cheese salad with grilled olive bread is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. The creamy goat cheese, crisp lettuce, juicy tomatoes, and smoky grilled bread are all brought together by a simple vinaigrette. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
