A great combination of flavors that makes an elegant first course-for brunch or for dinner. The timbales need to be chilled overnight, so begin preparing this dish a day before serving. Ingredients:
12 to 16 thin slices prosciutto |
10 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (such as montrachet), room temperature |
2 ounces cream cheese, room temperature |
1/2 cup chopped green onions |
8 ounces haricots verts or slender green beans, trimmed, cut crosswise in half |
1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar |
3 tablespoons chopped shallots |
12 cups mixed baby greens |
Directions:
1. Line six 2/3-cup ramekins with plastic wrap, leaving overhang. Line each ramekin with 2 slices prosciutto, overlapping in center and patching any holes with extra prosciutto. Stir goat cheese, cream cheese and 1/4 cup green onions in bowl until well blended. Season generously with pepper. Spoon into prepared ramekins, dividing equally. Fold prosciutto over to enclose. Fold plastic over to cover; press to compact. Chill overnight.
2. Cook beans in medium pot of boiling salted water until just crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water and drain well. Pat dry. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill.)
3. Invert ramekins to release timbales. Peel off plastic. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add timbales, bottom side down. Cover; cook until cheese is just soft when top of timbale is pressed, about 5 minutes. Transfer to plate; let stand 1 hour to set up.
4. Meanwhile, combine vinegar and shallots in small bowl. Slowly whisk in 1/2 cup oil. Season with salt and pepper.
5. Combine greens, beans, 1/4 cup green onions and 2/3 cup dressing in large bowl; toss to coat. Divide salad among 6 plates. Top each with timbale. Drizzle some of remaining dressing over each.
