Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/3 cup walnut pieces
1 teaspoon sea salt
8 slices baguette
1 large garlic clove, peeled and cut in half
4 ounces chevre cheese, cut into 8 slices (use the round, log shaped type)
2 ounces mesclun
1 small red onion, peeled and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon walnut oil
1 1/2 tablespoons tarragon vinegar
1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed
salt and pepper, to taste

Steps:

Preheat broiler to hot. Put walnuts in a bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand 1 minute, drain and shake dry. Toast under broiler 3-4 minutes until golden (watch carefully so they don't burn). Sprinkle with sea salt, toss and cool.
Put the baguette slices under broiler and toast one side until lightly golden. Remove and rub toasted side with cut garlic. Allow to cool a few minutes and turn over and place chevre slices on untoasted side. Broil 2 minutes, or until chevre browns slightly.
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.

Salad with Warm Goat Cheese image

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.
