One bag of mixed Spring Salad

6 Tbsp. of extra virgin olive oil

3 Tbsp. Fresh Lemon Juice

1 tsp. Dijon Mustard

1 egg, beaten in a shallow bowl

1 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan Cheese (not the green can, the real stuff)

1/3 cup seasoned breadcrumbs

1 8 ounce log of Goat Cheese, Montrachet preferred sliced into 8 slices

1 Tbsp. butter

1Tbsp. olive oil

Kosher salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Combine the olive oil, lemon juice and Dijon mustard in a small bowl whisk thoroughly to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Place the bread crumbs on a plate, add the Parmesan cheese then toss to combine.

Dip the goat cheese slices lightly in the egg, then coat both sides with the bread crumb mixture

Place the breaded goat cheese slices on a plate and refrigerate for 15 minutes at least (may be prepared ahead, cover)

Just before serving, melt the butter with the olive oil in a skillet do not allow the butter to brown. Over medium heat cook the cheese slices until golden brown on both sides about 4-5 minutes.

Whisk the dressing to blend, drizzle the dressing over the salad greens to coat lightly, toss then season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Arrange dressed salad greens on plates that have chilled in the freezer. Arrange cheese on top. Serve immediately. Serves 4.
