Ingredients
Scale
For the salad:
- 4 slices sourdough bread
- 1 Tablespoon butter, for frying
- 4 thick slices goat cheese
- 1 Tablespoon fresh herbs
- 1 Tablespoon honey
- 150g bacon, diced
- 200g salad (lettuce or others)
- 15 cherry tomatoes
- 50g walnuts
- Black pepper, freshly ground
For the dressing:
- 3 Tablespoons (45 ml) olive oil
- 1 Tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 small red pepper, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
- Fry the bread on both sides in a frying pan with the butter.
- Remove from heat and dispose the bread slices on a baking tray covered with parchment paper. Add the goat cheese on top of each slice, sprinkle some fresh herbs and drizzle a kick of honey.
- Bake halfway until the cheese gets a nice brown color, about 5-8 minutes.
- In the meantime, fry the diced bacon in a frying pan without added fat, for about 4-5 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Display the lettuce in the plates, decorate with cherry tomatoes, walnuts and diced bacon, and place the goat cheese toast on top. Ground some fresh pepper on top.
- Mix all the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and drizzle over the salad. Serve warm, while the cheese is hot.
