Grilled Goats Cheese Starter

Grilled Goats Cheese with Balsamic Dressed Leaves and Strawberries is so good. The goat's cheese is grilled and then finished with a cooks blow torch. A few leaves in a balsamic dressing and strawberries; so simple to make.

First off, make a quick balsamic dressing for your salad leaves.

Balsamic Dressing:
3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon of Balsamic vinegar
a teaspoon of runny honey
a teaspoon of wholegrain mustard
salt and black pepper

Whisk the lot together, then give it a taste and adjust the seasoning, you might want to add a pinch of caster sugar.

If you don't have a whisk put it all in a clean jar with the lid on and give it a good shake which will do the same trick.

You can have your salad leaves at the ready in a bowl but only when you're ready to serve can you put the dressing on them - if you do it in advance the leaves will go soggy and taste oily.

When you are ready, pour a little of the dressing over the leaves and carefully mix together with your hands.

The Goats Cheese:
Put your goats cheese onto a shallow tray and put them under the grill for a couple of minutes (don't try turning them) there is no need to. Grill until they just start to bubble and finish the top with a cooks blow torch.

Add some sliced strawberries and that's it, job done. I tried to be fancy and do a squiggle with Balsamic glaze, which is a reduction of balsamic vinegar. No, I didn't make it, I cheated and brought it ready-made in a squeezy bottle from a well-known supermarket.
