1 (11-ounce) log plain or herbed Montrachet
2 extra-large egg whites, beaten with 1 tablespoon water
Fresh white bread crumbs
2 tablespoons good cider vinegar
2 tablespoons good Champagne vinegar
Pinch sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1
Slice the Montrachet into 12 (1/2-inch-thick) slices.

(The easiest way to slice goat cheese is to use a length of dental floss.)
3
Dip each slice into the beaten egg whites, then the bread crumbs, being sure the cheese is thoroughly coated.
4
Place the slices on a rack and chill them for at least 15 minutes.
5
For the dressing, place the vinegars, sugar, salt, pepper, and egg yolk in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade and blend for 1 minute.
6
With the motor running, slowly pour the olive oil through the feed tube until the vinaigrette is thickened.
7
Season, to taste.
8
Toss the salad greens with enough dressing to moisten, then divide them among 6 plates.
9
Melt 1 tablespoon oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium-high heat until just under smoking.
10
Cook the goat cheese rounds quickly on both sides until browned on the outside but not melted inside.
11
Top each salad with 2 warm rounds and serve.
