For the Goat Cheese

Method

Preparing the Goat Cheese

  1. 1

    Slice the Goat Cheese

    Cut the goat cheese into 1/2 inch thick rounds.

  2. 2

    Set up the Breading Station

    In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk the egg. In a third bowl, place the bread crumbs mixed with salt and black pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Cheese

    Dip each slice of goat cheese first into the flour, ensuring it's fully coated. Then dip it into the egg, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the bread crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  4. 4

    Heat the Olive Oil

    In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat until hot but not smoking.

  5. 5

    Fry the Goat Cheese

    Carefully add the breaded goat cheese rounds to the hot oil. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Preparing the Salad

  1. 6

    Prepare the Greens

    In a large salad bowl, add the mixed greens and toss gently.

  2. 7

    Chop the Vegetables

    Thinly slice the red onion and cucumber. Add them to the mixed greens along with the olives.

  3. 8

    Dress the Salad

    Drizzle the balsamic glaze over the salad and toss gently to combine.

Serving

  1. 9

    Plate the Dish

    On individual plates, serve a portion of the salad topped with two pieces of the warm goat cheese.

  2. 10

    Garnish

    Optionally, drizzle a little more balsamic glaze on top of the goat cheese for added flavor.
