Notes
I like to use the Costco precooked bacon pieces for dishes like this so I don't have to spend a ton of time cooking bacon. I keep it in the freezer and take out just what I need. Microwave or pan fry briefly and you are all set.
I like to try and break mine up the goat cheese before I open the package so I don't end up with a ton of goat cheese stuck to my fingers.
