Method
Cheese
- Use the best goat cheese available—such as Crottin de Chavignol, Crottin de Pays, or aged chèvre in log.

Vinaigrette
- Whisk the mustard with honey, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Slowly emulsify in the olive oil, then add the remaining ingredients. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks. Shake well before using it.

Salad Assembly
- In a hot skillet, cook the pancetta or prosciutto until crispy, then set aside. Generously season the salad with the vinaigrette and plate it. Toast the bread in a hot skillet with a drizzle of olive oil—or use rendered pork fat. Place the cheese on top of the toasted bread and put it under the broiler for about 4 minutes, or until the cheese melts. Season the cheese with ground black pepper and top with a fresh thyme sprig. Garnish with the crispy pancetta and walnuts. Bon appétit!
