Preparation:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
In a large 12- to 14-inch sauté pan heat the olive oil over medium heat. Place the radicchio quarters in the oil 4 at a time and sauté cut-side down until lightly brown on both cut sides. Set aside and repeat with the remaining 4 quarters. Let cool.
While the pan is still hot, sauté the 8 sage leaves until crisp and brown, set aside.
In a mixing bowl stir together the goat cheese, rosemary, egg, Parmesan and 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar until well blended. Pack about 3 tablespoons of the cheese mixture on top of each radicchio quarter, smoothing over to form a slightly rounded top.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the goat cheese has started to brown slightly. Remove from oven, sprinkle with remaining balsamic vinegar and garnish with 2 sage leaves each. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot.
