Warm French Goat's Cheese Salad (Salade de Chêvre Chaud)

tbsp flour (, plain / all-purpose)

breadcrumbs (regular kind, else sub panko; (Note 2))

/ 2 tbsp butter (, unsalted)

pine nuts

walnuts

bacon

red oak

tomato (large;

tsp chives (, finely chopped)

tsp garlic (, very finely minced)

Dijon mustard

tbsp balsamic vinegar ((the

salt

Slice cheese: Cut goat&#039;s cheese if necessary to create ~ 1.25cm (1/2&quot;) thick rounds.

Place flour, whisked egg and breadcrumbs in 3 separate, small bowls.

Crumb cheese: Coat cheese in flour, shake off excess. Dip in egg, allow excess to drip. Coat with breadcrumbs, pressing to adhere. Place on plate and set aside.

Crumb goat&#039;s cheese:

Toast nuts: Spread nuts in a layer on a tray. Toast in a 180C / 375F oven for around 5 minutes until they are lightly browned and smell toasty. Immediately transfer to a small bowl to cool. Alternatively, toast in a skillet over medium heat (walnuts will take longer than pine nuts, so best to do in separate batches).

Cook bacon: Place bacon in a cold non-stick pan. Turn the stove to medium and let the pan warm up. Once the fat starts to melt, turn the heat to high. Stir and cook bacon until golden. Drain excess fat on paper towels.

Dressing: Shake dressing ingredients in a jar.

Begin assembling salad: Place lettuce in a bowl, casually arrange tomatoes, then sprinkle with nuts and bacon.

Prepare salad:

Melt butter in a small non-stick pan over medium-high heat.

Pan-fry cheese: Once butter is foaming, cook crumbed cheeses for 1 - 1 1/2 minutes on one side until golden. Carefully turn, cook other side for 1 minute until golden. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Pan-fry cheese:

Drizzle each salad with 2 tbsp of dressing. Arrange 2 crumbed cheeses on top of each salad. Sprinkle with chives.

Serve immediately, while cheese is hot and melty inside!

Honey Balsamic Vinaigrette

You can serve this salad cold or at room temperature, but my personal favorite it to keep the greens and persimmons cold and have everything else warm. It's oddly the perfect balance.

Cranberry Roasted Butternut Persimmon Salad with Fried Goat Cheese.

butternut squash

maple syrup

cinnamon

ginger

cranberries

apple cider

dijon mustard

log cut cheese (sliced into 1/4 inch rounds, 10)

buttermilk (or 1 egg beaten)

bread crumbs

greens

persimmons (quartered)

pecans

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.

Spread the butternut squash out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, ginger, cayenne, salt and pepper, toss well to coat. Roast in the oven until the butternut squash is tender, 20 to 25 minutes, stirring halfway through cooking. Remove from oven and stir in cranberries.

Meanwhile, heat the apple cider and the cider vinegar in a small saucepan over high heat and boil until it has reduced to 1/4 cup, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the remaining 1/2 cup olive oil and the mustard. Season with salt and pepper.

To make the Fried Goat Cheese. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add the panko to one small bowl, then add the buttermilk to another small bowl. Carefully dip the rounds of goat cheese, first through the buttermilk, and then dredge through the panko. Carefully add to the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden. To make these in advance, fry as directed and then warm in a 300 degree oven for 5 minutes.

In a large salad bowl, toss together the lettuce, roasted squash, persimmons, and pecans. Add the dressing and toss once more. Top with the fried goat cheese. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
