Time 40m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 sheets phyllo dough, defrosted
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter, melted
2 to 3 tablespoons plain dry bread crumbs
3 (3.5- to 5.5-ounce) fresh goat cheese discs
Baby salad greens, such as arugula and mesclun mix, for 6
2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup good olive oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Unroll the sheets of phyllo dough on a flat surface and cover them with a slightly damp towel. (If the towel is too wet, the dough will get sticky.) Working quickly so the dough doesn't dry out, place one sheet of phyllo on a board, brush lightly with melted butter, and sprinkle lightly with bread crumbs. Place a second sheet of phyllo on top, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle with bread crumbs. Continue until you have 4 sheets stacked up. Cut the sheets in half crosswise to make 2 almost-squares.
  • Cut one of the goat cheeses in half horizontally, making 2 thin discs. Place each disc in the center of one phyllo square. Starting at one corner, fold the phyllo up over the cheese and continue folding and pleating the phyllo around the cheese, as though you're wrapping a round gift that's tied on top. You will end with extra phyllo dough on top; twist the excess into a topknot. Brush the discs all over with melted butter and place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Continue with the remaining phyllo dough and 2 goat cheese discs to make 4 additional packages.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, until the phyllo is lightly browned. Allow to cool for 5 minutes.
  • While the cheese packages bake, place the salad greens in a large bowl. Whisk the vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Still whisking, slowly add the olive oil, making an emulsion. Toss the salad greens with enough vinaigrette to moisten.
  • Distribute the salad among 6 plates and place one warm goat cheese package in the center of each plate. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and serve.

6 garlic cloves, unpeeled
1 tablespoon plus 1 cup olive oil
11 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), crumbled
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
4 sheets fresh phyllo dough or frozen thawed
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter, melted
6 tablespoons fresh white breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Sherry wine vinegar
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon

  • Arrange 1 phyllo sheet so that 1 long side is parallel to edge of work surface. Brush half of phyllo crosswise with butter. Fold unbuttered half over as for book. Brush with melted butter. Sprinkle with 1 1/2 tablespoons breadcrumbs. Spoon 1/4 of goat cheese mixture along bottom edge of phyllo, leaving 1/2-inch border at bottom and on each side. Fold short sides in. Fold long edge over and roll up as for jelly roll. Place phyllo roll, seam side down, on heavy large baking sheet. Brush with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo, butter, breadcrumbs and goat cheese mixture. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover tightly with plastic and refrigerate.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake phyllo rolls until golden, about 15 minutes.

  • Toss salad with enough dressing to season to taste. Divide among 6 plates. Using serrated knife, cut each phyllo roll diagonally into 2-inch slices. Arrange around edge of salads. Sprinkle herb mixture over salads.
