My husband made this for us last night and it was fabulous. He followed the recipe as written except added some fresh raspberries to the salad. We also whisked the oil and vinegar into a dressing instead of drizzling separately. He thought the breadcrumb mixture may absorb the butter more evenly if it was mixed in a little at a time instead of all at once.

The stove top "baked" goat cheese melts in your mouth and is so simple! I used crushed whole grain crackers in place of bread crumbs and it is so yummy. I added sliced strawberries and toasted walnuts and topped with a strawberry vinaigrette. Soooo good and soooo satisfying!

I used this recipe to create the "baked" goat cheese rounds, it works fine on any salad.

Loved it! A bit hectic when you're getting everything on the table. next time I'll plan to sit and eat this first before meal is ready!

I made this for dinner last night and loved it! We grilled some shrimp, added dried cranberries and almonds and it was delicious. I was also lazy and did a store bought dressing - Garlic Expressions. It went great.

Warm goat cheese salad is one of my favorites. This was a nice base recipe for me and then I added what we like. I put together the salad with our choice of ingredients. For the goat cheese, I did use Panko bread crumbs. However, I mixed the bread crumbs with my fresh herbs from my herb garden. I chopped fresh basil, cilantro, oregano (really depends on what I have on hand) along with a little crushed black pepper, and a tiny bit of crushed red pepper. Makes a delicious goat cheese. For me, this made a nice recipe into something really great. However, that will depend on your own individual taste. It's also very easy to make.

I revamped the salad with homemade ezekiel bread breadcrumbs instead of store bought, apple cider vinegar instead of balsamic, and added walnuts (along with the goat cheese and olive oil of course) and it was the best salad I have had in a long time! I love this recipe and will definitely try it again!

As written, a generous three stars, as a 1:1 ratio of olive oil to vinegar is off. That's waaay too much vinegar! A ratio of 3:1 olive oil to vinegar is traditionally used and even 2:1 is all right if you prefer your dressing more acidic. Other than that this was a pretty and delicious salad, one that I had to make just for myself as Hubs wouldn't get NEAR anything with goat cheese. I used a lighter red wine vinegar as I don't care for balsamic and added toasted walnuts, dried cherries and thinly sliced red onion.
