Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 rounds French bread 1/2-inch thick
8 ounces fresh goat cheese, preferably in a log
6 tablespoons fruity extra-virgin olive oil
1 head Boston lettuce
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon fresh rosemary leaves
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh chervil
1 teaspoon minced chives
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Lightly toast the bread, then arrange the slices on a broiler pan lined with foil. Top each slice of toasted bread with a thick slice of the goat cheese. Brush the portions of cheese with half the olive oil and set aside until just before serving time.
  • 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.
