Preparation
- Step 1
Combine ¼ cup of the olive oil, the thyme and the bay leaf in a shallow dish. Add the cheese, and marinate in the refrigerator several hours or overnight.
- Step 2
To make the vinaigrette, put the vinegar in a bowl and whisk in the remaining ¼ cup olive oil. Season with the salt and pepper.
- Step 3
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Grease a small baking dish. Remove the goat cheese from the oil and coat with the bread crumbs. Put in the dish and bake until the cheese is lightly bubbling and golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes.
- Step 4
Meanwhile, toss the greens with the vinaigrette and divide among 4 plates. Place a round of goat cheese on the center of each salad, browner side up. Serve immediately.
