Ingredients
  

For the Bacon
  • 6 slices Crispy Bacon Provides a smoky, savory flavor and crunchy texture; substitute with turkey bacon for a lighter option.
For the Cheese Mix
  • 8 oz Goat Cheese Offers creamy richness with tangy notes; can be replaced with cream cheese, ricotta, or Brie for different textures.
  • 2 tbsp Hot Honey Adds sweetness with a spicy kick; use regular honey for sweetness or chili flakes to amp up the heat.
For the Base
  • 12 pieces Crostini Serves as a crunchy base to hold the appetizer; can be substituted with crackers or toasted baguette slices.
For the Garnish
  • Optional Garnishes (e.g., fresh herbs) Adds freshness and visual appeal; use parsley or chives for a lovely touch.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, cool, and chop.
  2. In a mixing bowl, blend goat cheese until smooth and fluffy (about 2-3 minutes).
  3. Fold bacon into the goat cheese mixture, drizzle in hot honey, and mix until fully combined (about 1-2 minutes).
  4. Shape and roll the mixture into a log using plastic wrap, sealing the ends. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice bread for crostini, brush with olive oil, and bake for 8-10 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Slice the chilled log, serve on a platter with toasted crostini.
