Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest (about 1 lemon)
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 garlic clove, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 (6-ounce) package goat cheese, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon olive oil, divided
  • 6 ounces gourmet salad greens
  • 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups sliced apples, such as Granny Smith (about 1/2 pound)
  • 6 pieces rosemary flatbread

Method

  • Preheat oven to 450°. Combine breadcrumbs and next 5 ingredients in a shallow pan. Place 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small dish and brush each goat cheese slice with oil. Dredge each slice in breadcrumb mixture, and place on a baking sheet, leaving 1/2 inch between slices.
  • Bake for 8-10 minutes. Remove from oven. While the cheese is baking, toss greens with vinegar, apple slices, and remaining teaspoon olive oil in a large salad bowl.
  • Transfer to 6 salad plates. Top each plate of salad greens and apples with 2 goat cheese medallions. Serve with flatbread while cheese is warm.
