Ingredients

4 cups
mixed baby salad greens
1 cup
fresh whole herb leaves (such as parsley, basil, mint or cilantro)
3/4 cup
small cherry tomatoes

Directions

  1. Heat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil; set aside.
  2. Place 1/4 cup dressing into shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl. Dip each piece of cheese into dressing; shake off excess dressing. Coat with bread crumbs. Place cheese onto prepared baking sheet. Bake 2-3 minutes or just until soft. (Do not overbake.)

Recipe Tips

The crumb-coated cheese cubes can be made well ahead of time. Refrigerate, covered on baking sheet or in a covered container. Bake just before serving.
