Raspberry spinach salad with baked crusted cheese

2 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
½ cup Part-skim farmer's cheese
1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
1 Clove garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon Fresh dill weed snipped
¼ cup Whole wheat pastry flour
2 Eggs, beaten
¼ cup Fine bread crumbs, toasted
1 Clove garlic, crushed
cup Rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Ons, fresh or frozen raspberries
1 teaspoon Honey
cup Olive oil
1 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
10 ounces Spinach washed and dried
2 Scallions, sliced

Directions

First, make the cheese patties by placing the farmer cheese, feta cheese, garlic and dill in a blender or food processor. Blend until well combined.

With a tablespoon and floured hands, form the cheese into 2 large or 4 small patties.

Spread the flour in a shallow plate, the egss in a shallow bowl and the bread crumbs in another plate. Carefully dredge each patty in flour, them dip in the egg, and finally roll in the bread crumbs, gently pressing so the crumbs adhere. Dip each patty once more in the egg and coat again with crumbs. Place patties on a lightly oiled baking sheet and refrigerate until 20 minutes before serving.

Preheat the oven to 350#161#F. Bake the cheese patties until well browned (about 20 minutes).

While the patties are baking, prepare the dressing. Place the garlic, vinegar, raspberries, honey, oil, and pepper in a jar with a tight-fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well emulsified and set aside.

Arrange the spinach leaves and scallions in a large bowl and toss with the dressing. Divide the spinach between the plates and top each with a hot cheese patty. Grind fresh black pepper over each and serve immediately with a basket of hot French bread.
