Green Salad With Baked Goat Cheese Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. Cut goat cheese into eight slices; brush both sides with olive oil and coat with bread crumbs. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake until cheese is bubbly, 5-6 minutes., In a large bowl, combine salad greens, cranberries, walnuts and bacon; transfer to a platter. Top with cheese and croutons. Serve with dressing of your choice.,

Steps:

• Combine 1/4 cup of the olive oil, the thyme and the bay leaf in a shallow dish. Add the cheese, and marinate in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.
• To make the vinaigrette, put the vinegar in a bowl and whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup olive oil. Season with the salt and pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Grease a small baking dish. Remove the goat cheese from the oil and coat with the bread crumbs. Put in the dish and bake until the cheese is lightly bubbling and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, toss the greens with the vinaigrette and divide among 4 plates. Place a round of goat cheese on the center of each salad, browner side up. Serve immediately.

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:

• Place the rounds of goat cheese in a flat dish and add onequarter cup of the oil. Add the thyme sprigs or sprinkle with one teaspoon dried thyme. Let stand eight hours or longer.
• Blend the remaining teaspoon dried thyme with the bread crumbs and set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Remove the cheese rounds and coat them all over with the breadcrumb-and-thyme mixture. Put them in an oiled baking dish and place in the oven. Bake six to 10 minutes or until cheese is lightly bubbling and golden.
• Meanwhile, blend the remaining half cup of oil with the vinegar, salt and pepper. Pour this over the salad greens and toss.
• Serve the cheese on warm plates surrounded by garlic toast slices. Serve with the salad.

Steps:

• Rinse and core the bibb lettuce. Dry the leaves. Rinse and dry the arugula, removing any heavy stems. Rinse and core the radichio. Tear the salad ingredients into bite-sized pieces. Place in a bowl.
• Remove long stems from the parsley and add the leaves to the salad bowl. Finely chop the stems and add them.
• Beat oil and vinegar together until well emulsified.
• Sprinkle the goat cheese over the salad, then add the vinaigrette dressing. Toss. Season to taste with pepper and serve.

Steps:

• Position an oven rack 5 to 6 inches from the broiler unit, and preheat the broiler. Fill a small pot with water, cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Fill a medium bowl with ice water.
• Place the haricots verts in one even row on one short-side of a rimmed baking sheet and the tomatoes in the bottom middle of the baking sheet. Drizzle the vegetables with 2 tablespoons of the oil and evenly distribute the lemon zest, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper. Toss each vegetable individually to coat. Place the beans, 2 tablespoons of the oil, the herbs de Provence, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper in the center of a 13-inch piece of aluminum foil. Toss to combine. Fold up the edges of the foil packet to seal and place on the other short-side of the baking sheet. Broil until the tomatoes begin to blister, about 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add the eggs to the boiling water and lower the heat to medium-low. Simmer the eggs for a jammy yolk, about 6 minutes. Transfer the eggs to the ice water. After cooling for about 1 minute, peel the shells off the eggs under cool running water.
• Drizzle the bread with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with a pinch of salt. Add the goat cheese and bread to the open area left on the baking sheet. Continue to broil until the bread has toasted, the tomatoes are blistered, the haricot verts are charred and the cheese has softened, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together the lemon juice, the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few cracks of pepper in a small bowl.
• Arrange a few pieces of butter lettuce on each plate. Divide the roasted vegetables, warmed goat cheese and kalamata olives between the plates. Add 3 slices of bread and a halved egg to each plate. Finish with a pinch of salt and pepper on the egg, plus a drizzle of lemon dressing on the lettuce.

Steps:

• Microwave or saute onion and bell pepper until soft; set aside to cool.
• In a large salad bowl, combine the onion, pepper, salad greens, deli meat and tomato. Sprinkle with the onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper and salt. Toss to mix.
• Pour on enough salad dressing or vinegar to coat, toss again and serve.
