Frisee Salad with Goat Cheese and Balsamic Syrup

Simmer the balsamic vinegar in a small nonreactive saucepan until reduced to 1/4 cup. Pour into a small ramekin and cool.

Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F. Place the baguette slices on a baking sheet. Top each bread slice with a slice of goat cheese. Bake until heated through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from the oven and keep warm.

In a large bowl, combine the frisée, arugula, and tomatoes. Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the salad. Toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Add the thyme and chives and toss together.

Divide the mixed greens among 8 individual plates. Top each salad with a warmed goat cheese toast. Drizzle the balsamic syrup around the perimeter of the greens and serve immediately.
