Add the vinegar, toss again, and season with salt and pepper. Divide the greens among individual serving plates. Place 1 or 2 rounds of chèvre on top of each serving of greens. Add 2 or 3 croutons, and serve immediately. Baguette Croutons: Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Cut the baguette into thin slices, and place the slices on a baking sheet. Brush the top of each slice with olive oil, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake until the croutons are dry and lightly toasted, 15 to 20 minutes. Let the croutons cool, and sue them immediately or store them in an airtight container. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
