Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 to 16 thin slices prosciutto
10 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), room temperature
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
1/2 cup chopped green onions
8 ounces haricots verts or slender green beans, trimmed, cut crosswise in half
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup Champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
3 tablespoons chopped shallots
12 cups mixed baby greens

Steps:

Line six 2/3-cup ramekins with plastic wrap, leaving overhang. Line each ramekin with 2 slices prosciutto, overlapping in center and patching any holes with extra prosciutto. Stir goat cheese, cream cheese and 1/4 cup green onions in bowl until well blended. Season generously with pepper. Spoon into prepared ramekins, dividing equally. Fold prosciutto over to enclose. Fold plastic over to cover; press to compact. Chill overnight.
Cook beans in medium pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain well. Pat dry. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
Invert ramekins to release timbales. Peel off plastic. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add timbales, bottom side down. Cover; cook until cheese is just soft when top of timbale is pressed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate; let stand 1 hour to set up.
Meanwhile, combine vinegar and shallots in small bowl. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Combine greens, beans, 1/4 cup green onions and 2/3 cup dressing in large bowl; toss to coat. Divide salad among 6 plates. Top each with timbale. Drizzle some of remaining dressing over each.
