Ingredients

For the Crumbed Goat's Cheese Medallions, and this is key, you'll need ripened goat's cheese—the kind that's just begging to melt! Aim for those cool AOC cheeses; they've got a rind and creamy center, ideal when heated. If your cheese is in log form, slice it into 1.25cm medallions. This is important; you need the rind intact around each slice, because, without it, the cheese will run wild when you pan-fry it.

It's fine if the cheese rounds are 5-6cm thick.

Don't freak out!

Instructions

Now I'm gonna tell you how to cook the warm goat cheese salad! First, grab your goat cheese medallions – aim for those 1/2-inch thick slices. Don't skimp on those tasty ingredients!

Next, it's time to get cooking! Grab your favorite leaf salad mix, nuts, and bacon. You're gonna love this!

Get a pan nice and hot. Now, pan-fry those goat cheese medallions. You'll want to cook each side until golden brown – that's where the magic happens!

Finally, assemble the salad – salad base, bacon, nuts and then carefully put those warm goat cheese medallions on top. That's it! Pretty easy, right?

Tips

I've got some cool tips to share that'll make your Warm Goat Cheese Salad even better! First off, remember that the quality of your goat cheese really matters – I mean, it's the star, right?

Here's the lowdown to improve your Warm Goat Cheese Salad:

Cheese Selection: Aim for ripened goat cheese that is in small discs around 5 – 6cm / 2 – 2.3″ thick, or log form that you can slice accordingly into 1.25cm / 1/2″ medallions – that way it won't melt into a puddle!
Rind is Key: Make sure each slice has rind all around, otherwise it'll get messy real quick.
Don't Overcrowd: When pan-frying, don't crowd the pan, so they get that nice golden crust!

That should give you a head start. You got this!

Serving Suggestions

You've got the lowdown on perfecting the goat cheese itself, so let's chat about serving up this French masterpiece! Think beyond just plopping it on the salad! I love the simple presentation, but we can get creative.

First off, don't underestimate the classic – a bed of fresh greens, some toasted nuts, and crispy bacon. Now, if you're feeling adventurous, drizzle a balsamic glaze – or honey – for a sweet-savory combo.

For a fun twist, consider mini baguette slices. Then, spread 'em with a bit of the cheese, then add the goat cheese medallions. These are great for appetizers at a party! Add sun-dried tomatoes or roasted peppers on top for a splash of color!

It's not just about taste; it's about the *experience*. So, plate it nicely. A sprinkle of fresh herbs always elevates things!
