Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

8 Goat cheese (fresh)

2 tablespoons Italian Parsley

1 teaspoon Fresh thyme -- chopped

1/2 teaspoon Fresh Rosemary -- finely chopped

1/2 cup Olive oil

1 cup Bread crumbs -- lightly toasted

6 handfuls Garden lettuces*

 

Cut the log of goat cheese into 6 disk shaped pieces. Combine the

chopped herbs and 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a dish that will

accommodate the cheese in one layer. Mariante the cheese in the oil

mixture for a day or two, keeping it covered in the refrigerator and

turning the cheese once or twice a day.

 

An hour before serving, remove the cheese from the refrigerator and

allow it to come to room temperature. Preheat the oven to 400

degrees. Remove the cheese rounds from the marinade and roll them in

the bread crumbs. Place them on a baking sheet and bake for 5-6

minutes, or until they are soft to the touch

 

While the cheese is baking, wash and dry the lettuce. Whisk together

the viniger and the remaining 1/4 cup of the oil. Toss the lettuce

with the vinigerette and arrange on 6 room temperature plates. Place

a cheese round in the center of each plate. Sprinkle the cheese with

a generous pinch of black pepper and serve immediately.
