Radicchio and goat cheese gratin with balsamic vinegar

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 larges Heads radicchio quartered lengthwise
2 ounces Virgin olive oil
8 Sage leaves
8 ounces Soft goat cheese; (preferably Coach Farm)
1 tablespoon Fresh rosemary leaves,; finely chopped
1 large Egg
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese,; grated
2 tablespoons Balsamic vinegar; plus 4 tablespoons
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

In a large 12 to 14-inch saute pan heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Place the radicchio quarters in the oil 4 at a time and saute cut side down until lightly brown on both cut sides. Set aside and repeat with the remaining 4 quarters. Let cool. While the pan is still hot, saute the 8 sage leaves until crisp and brown, set aside.

In a mixing bowl stir together the goat cheese, rosemary, egg, Parmesan and 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar until well blended.

Pack about 3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on top of each radicchio quarter, smoothing over to form a slightly rounded top. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the goat cheese has started to brown slightly. Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining balsamic vinegar and garnish with 2 sage leaves each. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
