Greens and Goat Cheese Bruschetta

Ingredients

  • 1 cup arugula, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup escarole, thinly sliced

  • 1 cup endive, thinly sliced

  • 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil

  • 1 Tbs balsamic vinegar

  • Salt and pepper to taste (sea salt if on a corn-free diet*)

  • 4 slices Italian bread, preferably a coarse, country style bread, cut in thick slices

  • 3 oz Montrachet cheese*, (or any good quality goat cheese)

Almost a salad on a thick slice of toast, this bruschetta is a lovely way to start an elegant meal. It works as an accompaniment to a hearty main dish soup. Prepare right before serving so the greens don’t wilt.

Directions

  • Place the greens and the oil and vinegar in a small bowl and toss well. Add salt and pepper to taste, keeping in mind that the goat cheese can be very salty.
  • Toast bread by grilling on the stovetop or under the broiler.
  • Spread goat cheese evenly over the toasts. Place a mound of the dressed greens on top of the cheese. The amount of greens may vary, depending on the size of the bread. It’s okay to mound the greens.
  • Serve immediately.
