BACON-WILTED GREENS WITH WARM PECAN-CRUSTED GOAT CHEESE
Steps:
- Line a plate with paper towels. Line a rimmed baking sheet with a silicone mat and set aside.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to the prepared plate. Pour off all but a film of the grease on the bottom of the pan. (Just eyeball it instead of trying to measure, but it should be just about 1/2 teaspoon; discard the remaining grease.)
- To make the salad, return the skillet to low heat. Add the onion and the diced apple. Season with salt and pepper. Add the kale; cook until the kale begins to wilt, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes. Add the vinegar; cover, and cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, taste, and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, preheat the oven to broil. Place the finely chopped pecans in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Roll the goat cheese log in the pecans to evenly coat. Refrigerate until firm if necessary, then cut evenly into 6 rounds and place each round of cheese on the sliced apple. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
- To serve, divide the kale salad among the plates. Top with an apple-cheese round and garnish with the reserved bacon. Serve immediately.

PECAN AND GOAT CHEESE BALLS
Two holiday traditions-the nut bowl and the cheese plate-unite in these refined cheese balls. Lily-pad-like parsley leaves add a herbaceous note echoed in the surprising (and surprisingly good) combination of rosemary and coriander in the center of the cheese. These diminutive marbles coated with sweet buttered pecans are just the right size, making them neat to eat.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in upper third.
- Toss pecans with butter, sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt, then toast in a 4-sided sheet pan until fragrant and a shade darker, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and cool completely.
- Pulse pecans in a food processor just until finely chopped, then transfer to a wide shallow bowl.
- Stir together goat cheese, rosemary, coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper until combined well. Form teaspoons of cheese mixture into marbles between your palms, then roll in pecans to coat and roll between your palms again briefly. Transfer to a plate.
- Put a parsley leaf under each cheese marble and spear together with a wooden pick.
WARM PECAN-CRUSTED GOAT CHEESE TOASTS WITH MIXED BABY GREENS
Steps:
- Preheat the broiler. Place the chopped pecans in a shallow dish and season with salt and pepper. Roll the goat cheese log in the pecans to coat evenly. Refrigerate until firm, if necessary, then cut into 4 to 6 uniform rounds.
- To heat the goat cheese toasts, place the bread slices on a baking sheet and drizzle with some of the olive oil. Place a round of goat cheese atop a piece of bread. Broil until the cheese is melted and browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, to make the dressing, whisk the shallot, mustard, and vinegar together in a small bowl. Add the remaining 1/4 cup oil in a slow steady stream, whisking constantly, until the dressing is creamy and emulsified. Season with salt and pepper.
- To serve, toss the salad greens with just enough dressing to coat. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Divide among serving plates and top each salad with a warm goat cheese toast.
