Preheat the oven to 400F. Remove the beet greens, if attached, leaving 1 inch of stem to avoid piercing the skin. Put the beets in a baking dish (use separate dishes for red and golden beets as red beets bleed). Add 1/4 inch of water, cover, and bake until the beets are tender when pierced, 40 minutes to 1 hour, depending on size. Add more water if the beets threaten to cook dry. When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel and cut into wedges. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the walnut oil, the sherry vinegar, the shallot, and salt and pepper to taste. Let stand for 30 minutes to allow the shallot flavor to mellow. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Preheat the broiler. With a serrated knife, slice the baguette on a sharp diagonal to make 4 dramatic slices about 7 inches long and 1/4 inch thick. (You will have leftover bread.) Using 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, brush the slices lightly on both sides. Put on a baking sheet and broil on both sides until lightly browned. Reduce oven temperature to 350F. Put the goat cheese in a lightly oiled baking dish and top with the 1 teaspoon olive oil. Bake until cheese is soft and warm to the touch, 10 to 12 minutes. While the cheese bakes, toss the salad greens with enough of the dressing to coat them lightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste and arrange on 4 plates. Toss the beets with some of the dressing and season with salt. (Toss red and golden beets separately.) Scatter the beets over the greens. Divide the warm cheese among the 4 toasts, spreading it evenly. Garnish each salad with a cheese-topped toast.
