Warm Goat Cheese and Avocado Salad



Avocados and goat cheese. With those two delicious ingredients its hard to go wrong. Most mornings I have a pretty intense workout and if I'm having a salad for lunch I try to make it somewhat filling. This salad really hits the spot. I love the taste of the warm cheese that oozes into my mouth as I take a bite into its bread crumb coated exterior. Have it with a smooth avocado and some crunchy leaves to top it off and your palate will thank you for the delicious blend of flavors and textures. I really recommend this recipe if you enjoy goat cheese and avocados. It looks impressive and it doesn't take much time to prepare.


Recipe for Goat Cheese and Avocado Salad

Serves 2 people

Ingredients
8 0z Goat Cheese
1 Egg
Bread crumbs
Lettuce
2 Avocadoes


Dressing
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
4 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp dijon mustart
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

Directions
Slice the cheese into six 1/2 inch pieces. Separate the egg white from the yolk. Dip the goat cheese one by one into the egg white and then into the bread crumbs. Make sure that they are completely coated. Put in the fridge for at least 15 mins.

Add a little olive oil to a pan and fry the goat cheese in medium heat. As soon as the crust is brown flip over and do the other side and then take out of the pan. It should take very little time. Make sure you don't leave it in too long otherwise the cheese will start to melt inside.

Add the goat cheese to some sliced avocados and lettuce and serve with the dressing above.
