Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out strips of bacon. Bake for 15-20 minutes until crispy.
  2. Remove bacon and let it cool on paper towels. Chop the cooled bacon and mix with goat cheese using a fork until well combined.
  3. Scoop the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper and mold into a log shape, about 12 inches long. Wrap tightly with parchment.
  4. Chill log in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Optionally, toast your crostini until golden.
