Best Warm Goats Cheese On Toast And Lettuce Recipes

SALAD WITH WARM GOAT CHEESE

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4.
• Arrange the whole heads of garlic snugly in an oven dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with thyme, salt and freshly ground black pepper. Roast in the oven for about an hour, or until the garlic is softened.

• Serve with on a bed of fresh, crisp lettuce leaves. I often add a couple of slices of prosciutto, too.

SALAD WITH HERBS AND WARM GOAT CHEESE

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.
