Warm Goat Cheese with Figs & Frisée

What You Get

Goat cheese

Eggs

Panko bread crumbs

Figs

Frisée lettuce

Roasted scallion vinaigrette

Toasted hazelnuts

What You'll Need

Olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 475°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and grease with olive oil.

Step 2

Place the goat cheese log in the freezer for a few minutes to firm it up. Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and whisk with a fork to combine. Pour 1 cup panko onto a plate.

Step 3

Slice the goat cheese log into 6 rounds about ½ inch thick (you may not need all of it). Use a fork to dip each round into the eggs, then remove, letting the excess egg drip back into the bowl. Coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the crumbs stick. Place the finished rounds on half of the prepared pan.

Step 4

Trim the stems from the figs, and slice the figs in half. Arrange the figs on the other half of the pan. Drizzle everything lightly with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until the breadcrumbs are golden and the figs are tender, about 12 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, trim the frisée, rinse and pat dry, and tear the leaves into bite-size pieces. Place the frisée in a bowl, drizzle with some of the vinaigrette, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.

Step 6

Heap the frisée on plates and place the goat cheese rounds and figs on top. Sprinkle with the hazelnuts, grind with pepper, and serve warm.
