How to Make Warm Goat Cheese Salad
- **Prepare the Dressing:** In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar, 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon honey, salt, and pepper to taste.
- **Make the Breadcrumb Coating:** Combine 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a shallow dish.
- **Prepare the Goat Cheese:** Cut 8 ounces of goat cheese log into 16 slices (approximately 1/2 inch thick).
- **Bread the Goat Cheese:** Beat 1 large egg in a shallow dish. Dip each goat cheese slice into the egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- **Chill (Optional):** Cover and chill the breaded goat cheese for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours) to allow the coating to firm up. This step is optional but recommended.
- **Fry the Goat Cheese:** Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the goat cheese in two batches for 1-2 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- **Prepare the Salad:** In a large bowl, toss your favorite salad greens (e.g., 5 ounces mixed greens) with the prepared dressing.
- **Assemble and Serve:** Top the salad with the warm, crispy goat cheese, 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, and enjoy immediately!
