Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lay thick-cut bacon slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not overlapping. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
  2. In a mixing bowl, crumble the crispy bacon into small pieces. Add soft goat cheese to the bowl and blend them together until fully combined for a smooth mixture.
  3. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on your countertop. Scoop the bacon and cheese mixture onto the center of the wrap and shape into a log form by rolling tightly. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  4. Remove the log from the refrigerator, unwrap it, and drizzle with hot honey to add sweetness that balances the savory flavors.
  5. Slice into 1-inch thick rounds and arrange on a serving platter. Pair with crispy crostini or fresh vegetables for dipping.
