Step-by-Step Instructions for Million Dollar Bacon Goat Cheese
  1. Cook the thick-cut bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 10–12 minutes until crispy and golden brown. Drain on a paper towel.
  2. While the bacon cools, soften 8 ounces of goat cheese in a mixing bowl using a fork or hand mixer until creamy.
  3. Crumble the cooled bacon into small pieces and fold it into the softened goat cheese along with 2 tablespoons of hot honey.
  4. Shape the mixture into a log using plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the baguette into ½-inch pieces and toast them on a baking sheet for 5–7 minutes until golden.
  6. After chilling, unwrap the log, transfer to a platter, drizzle with extra hot honey, and serve with toasted crostini.
