Ingredients
- 5 medium beets
- 1 drizzle olive oil
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 (4 ounce) log goat cheese, cut into small medallions
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 (8 ounce) package mixed salad greens
- 2 tablespoons roasted sunflower seeds, or to taste (Optional)
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinaigrette dressing, or to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
- Drizzle beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap beets in aluminum foil and place in a large baking dish.
- Roast in the preheated oven until beets are easily pierced with a knife, 45 minutes to 2 hours, depending on size.
- Remove beets from the oven and let cool slightly. Unwrap, reserving any juice that is in the aluminum foil. Peel beets under warm water, cut into cubes, and place in a bowl.
- Place egg, flour, and bread crumbs into 3 separate dishes. Season all 3 with salt and pepper.
- Toss each goat cheese medallion in egg to coat, move to flour and coat then toss in bread crumbs, coating both sides evenly. Transfer medallions to a plate and place in the refrigerator to firm up, about 5 minutes.
- Heat canola oil over medium heat in a frying pan until it sizzles. Place goat cheese medallions in hot oil and fry until golden, about 1 minute per side. Remove from oil and transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
- Place a bed of mixed greens on a serving platter and top with beets and goat cheese medallions. Sprinkle with sunflower seeds. Drizzle with balsamic dressing and reserved beet juice.
- You can also use red wine vinegar salad dressing instead of balsamic.
