Mixed Greens with Fried Walnut-Coated Goat Cheese and Sherry Vinaigrette (page 34)

Just when I was ready to give up on Hamersley's salads, I ran into this one.  Mr. Hamersley, you redeemed yourself!

First, get your goat cheese at Costco--their standard size is 10 ounces and the price is great. 

Next, prepare the coating and coat the goat cheese balls.  NOTE:  cut the coating ingredients in half; even then you will have way too much.  Also, you only need one egg.  Finally, remember that 1 shallot=1 tablespoon. 

While the goat cheese is chilling, prepare the dressing.  The mustard makes it the perfect complement to the goat cheese and this time I have no quarrel with dressing to greens ratio. 

Fry the goat cheese at the very end.  You don't have to use it immediately--mine sat for 20 minutes or so and it was still great.

The bottom line:  I can't wait to impress my friend's with this one.
