Instructions
- Coat each slice of cheese with some of the egg white mixture. Dip slices in the panko and roll until coated. Set slices on a rack and chill in the fridge while you prepare the rest of the salad.
- Heat a small skillet and add the walnuts. Cook until lightly toasted, stirring a few times. Once you smell the nuts toasting, remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
- Prepare the vinaigrette in the bottom of a large salad bowl. First, warm the honey in a microwave for several seconds. To the salad bowl, add the vinegar and whisk in the mustard, honey and optional salt and pepper. Add 2 tablespoons of the oil and whisk again.
- Add the greens to the vinaigrette and toss. Stem and halve the figs. Add the figs and toasted walnuts to the salad and gently toss.
- Using a medium-sized skillet, heat the butter and remaining tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Add the goat cheese slices and cook until lightly browned on both sides.
- Serve individual portions of the salad. Top each plate with 2-4 slices of the toasted goat cheese. Serve
