Preparation

Step 1

For the vinaigrette, whisk together 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, vinegar, shallots, and Dijon; season with salt and pepper.

For the salad, beat egg in a shallow dish. Combine bread crumbs and
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts in a second shallow dish. Dip cheese rounds in egg, then dredge in crumb-nut mixture, pressing to adhere. Arrange cheese rounds on a rack set in a baking sheet; chill 30 minutes.

Heat 3 Tbsp. olive oil in a sauté pan over medium-high. Sauté cheese rounds until brown but not melted, 1– 2 minutes per side.

Toss watercress, endive, radicchio, pear, and 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
with vinaigrette to coat; season with salt and pepper. Top each serving
of salad with two cheese rounds; drizzle with honey.
