Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, fresh herbs, salt, and freshly cracked pepper, ensuring a well-mixed blend of flavors.
- Prepare two separate bowls, one containing the eggs (lightly beaten) and the other containing the flour, ready for the cheese rounds.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray to prevent any sticking during baking.
- Take each round of goat cheese and dip it first in the egg mixture, then in the flour, followed by another dip in the egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the coated cheese rounds on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Continue this process until all cheese rounds are coated, yielding approximately 6 to 10 servings depending on the size of your cheese rounds.
- For an extra crispy finish, lightly spray the tops of the cheese rounds with additional non-stick cooking spray before baking.
- Place the cookie sheet in the preheated oven and bake the cheese until it is golden brown and crispy, which should take about 10 minutes.
- While the cheese is baking, prepare the vinaigrette by combining the wine vinegar, sugar, Dijon mustard, chopped rosemary, minced garlic, and extra virgin olive oil in a bowl. Whisk together thoroughly until emulsified and smooth.
- Season the vinaigrette with salt and pepper to taste, enhancing the flavors to your liking.
- Once the cheese is ready, take the mixed greens and dress them generously with the prepared vinaigrette, ensuring each leaf is coated with the tangy dressing.
- To serve, place 1 to 2 warm cheese patties on top of each individual salad portion, allowing the richness of the cheese to melt slightly into the greens before serving. Enjoy your Herb Baked Chevre Salad, a true celebration of flavors!
This recipe is sure to become a favorite, offering a perfect balance of warm, creamy cheese and vibrant, fresh greens, ideal for any occasion!
