Recipe - Raspberry Spinach Salad With Baked Crusted Cheese

One half cup Partskim farmer's cheese
1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
1 Clove garlic, crushed
One half teaspoon Fresh dill weed snipped
One fourth cup Whole wheat pastry flour
2 Eggs, beaten
One fourth cup Fine bread crumbs, toasted
1 Clove garlic, crushed
1/3 cup Rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoon Ons, fresh or frozen
raspberries
1 teaspoon Honey
1/3 cup Olive oil
1 teaspoon Fresh ground black pepper
10 ounce Spinach washed and dried
2 Scallions, cut or sliced up

First, make the cheese patties by placing the farmer cheese, feta cheese,
garlic and dill in a blender or food processor. Blend until well combined.
With a tablespoon and floured hands, form the cheese into 2 large or 4
small patties.

Spread the flour in a shallow plate, the egss in a shallow bowl and the
bread crumbs in another plate. Carefully dredge each patty in flour, them
dip in the egg, and finally roll in the bread crumbs, gently pressing so
the crumbs adhere. Dip each patty once more in the egg and coat again with
crumbs. Place patties on a lightly oiled baking sheet and refrigerate until
20 minutes before serving.

Preheat the oven to 350#161#F. Bake the cheese patties until well browned
(about 20 minutes).

While the patties are baking, prepare the dressing. Place the garlic,
vinegar, raspberries, honey, oil, and pepper in a jar with a tightfitting
lid. Shake vigorously until well emulsified and set aside.

Arrange the spinach leaves and scallions in a large bowl and toss with the
dressing. Divide the spinach between the plates and top each with a hot
cheese patty. Grind fresh black pepper over each and serve immediately with
a basket of hot French bread.
