Ingredients

  • 1 x 10 oz Goat Cheese log

  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  • 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs (more if needed)

  • 1/4 cup Balsamic or Red Wine vinegar

  • Salt and pepper to taste

  • 1/2 cup Extra Virgin olive oil

  • Lettuces, mixed greens, spinach, tomatoes

  • Croutons

Directions

  • Add 1/4 cup olive oil to a large glass pan. Sprinkle in the ground thyme and mix to blend.
  • Divide your log of goat cheese into 8 portions and slice. You may have to reshape the rounds because goat cheese can be crumbly.
  • Place each round into the pan, then turn to coat. Refrigerate for 8 hours or overnight.
  • Preheat oven to 400 F.
  • Coat the rounds of goat cheese with the breadcrumbs and transfer to a lightly oiled pan. Bake until golden brown and bubbly, about 10-12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare your vinaigrette. In a bowl, add the vinegar, salt and pepper. As you whisk, drizzle in the 1/2 cup of olive oil. Set aside.
  • Wash and dry your salad greens and transfer to a bowl. Drizzle the vinaigrette over your greens and toss well.
  • Divide your green onto plates. Top with tomatoes, croutons, and baked goat cheese rounds.
