Frisee Salad With Goat Cheese Croques-monsieurs

The explanation of Scripture forms the dominant feature and the organizing principle of the message. All preaching should be based on the apostolic kerygma and didache. Exegetical preaching is governed by the goal of expounding the meaning and significance of this “faith once-delivered” in terms of the actual way in which it has been delivered, namely the structure and content of the biblical revelation, in which truth is revealed not in the form of a series of theological or topical loci (God, sin, justification, sanctification; war, money, social ethics, etc.), but through history, parable, narrative, argumentation, poem, and so on. Exegetical preaching therefore sees as its fundamental task the explanation of the text in its context, the unfolding of its principles, and only then their application to the world of hearers.

INSTRUCTIONS

In a salad bowl whisk together the shallot, the mustard, the vinegar,
and salt to taste and let the mixture stand for 10 minutes. Add the
oil in a stream, whisking, and whisk the dressing until it is
emulsified.  Make the goat cheese croques-monsieurs:  In a small bowl
cream together the goat cheese and 1 tablespoon of  the oil. Spread 4
slices of the bread with the mixture and top them  with the remaining
slices, pressing the sandwiches lightly. In a  small non-stick skillet
heat 1 1/2 tablespoons of the remaining oil  over moderately high heat
until it is hot but not smoking, in it  saute 2 of the sandwiches for 1
1/2 minutes on each side, or until  they are golden, and transfer them
to a plate. Saute the remaining 2  sandwiches in the remaining 1 1/2
tablespoons oil in the same manner.  Cut the croques-monsieurs into
1-inch squares. Add the frisee to the  salad bowl, toss it to coat it
with the dressing, and add the  croque-monsieur squares, tossing the
salad gently.  Serves 6.  Gourmet October 1992  Converted by MC_Buster.
