Roasted Tomato and Goat Cheese Salad image

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large Beefsteak tomatoes (about 12 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 12-ounce log Montrachet goat cheese
1/2 cup all purpose unbleached flour
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup bread crumbs combined with 2 tablespoons each chopped fresh thyme, sage, oregano and basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
2 cups mixed salad greens
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Halve and seed the tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Lay the tomatoes on a baking rack set over a cookie sheet in the 300 degree oven for 20 minutes or until the skins slip off easily. Remove the tomatoes from the oven, slip off their skins, and brush the tomato halves lightly with olive oil. Return the tomatoes to the oven to roast for an additional hour or until they take on a brilliant, burnished color.
  • Meanwhile, slice the Montrachet log into 12 equal-size disks. Dredge each disk of goat cheese with flour then egg then seasoned bread crumbs. Heat a saute pan with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and quickly cook the cheese on both sides. When all the cheese has been cooked in this manner, divide them among 4 salad plates, alternating slices of goat cheese and roasted tomato halves.
  • Combine the remaining olive oil with the balsamic vinegar, toss the salad greens with the vinaigrette and place some salad alongside each serving of tomatoes and cheese.

TOMATO AND PEACH SALAD WITH WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE



Tomato and Peach Salad With Whipped Goat Cheese image

Whizzed in the food processor with some heavy cream and lemon zest, earthy goat cheese becomes rich and creamy, the perfect complement to juicy peaches and tomatoes. Fresh purslane, if you can find it, provides a slight crunch to the salad, but mâche or watercress would also work well. You could also tear up some basil, parsley or other tender herbs you have lying around and toss those in just before serving. Colorful, fresh and easy, this salad works as a starter, a side or a summery supper, piled on top of grilled bread.

The tiny leaves are exact miniatures of how they would look if left to mature. They are often very intense in flavor. Common varieties include arugula, basil, beet, collard, mustard, daikon, chard, and celery. Microgreens are available at upscale and natural grocery stores such as Whole Foods and many farmer's markets.
