Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
1 5.5-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese (such as Montrachet), cut into 4 equal rounds, chilled
1 large egg, beaten to blend
3 tablespoons coarsely chopped hazelnuts
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon grated orange peel
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate, thawed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large bunch watercress, stems trimmed
1 large head Belgian endive, thinly sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Place flour and breadcrumbs on separate plates. Coat cheese rounds with flour. Dip cheese into egg, then into breadcrumbs, coating completely. Place on small baking sheet. Spoon hazelnuts atop cheese. Gently press hazelnuts into cheese to adhere. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  • Whisk vinegar, orange peel and orange juice concentrate in medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in oil. Season with salt and pepper. (Vinaigrette can be made 4 hours ahead. Store at room temperature; rewhisk before using.)
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake cheese until heated through and coating browns, about 6 minutes. Toss watercress and endive in large bowl with enough vinaigrette to coat. Season greens with salt and pepper. Divide greens among 4 plates. Top with warm cheese.

I'm not a huge fan of goat cheese, but I really enjoyed this salad. The hazelnuts and dressing balanced out the tanginess of the goat cheese perfectly.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover goat cheese. It's also a great make-ahead salad, as the flavors meld together nicely overnight.

I thought the salad was just okay. The goat cheese was a bit too tangy for my taste, and the dressing was a bit bland.

I found this salad to be a bit too rich for my taste. The goat cheese and hazelnut crust were both very heavy, and the dressing was also quite oily.
