Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the bacon strips in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until crispy and golden brown.

Once done, remove the pan and let the bacon cool on a paper towel to absorb excess grease. Once cooled, chop the bacon finely to mix into your goat cheese.

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened goat cheese with half of your chopped bacon. Cream the ingredients together until well incorporated.

Lay a large piece of plastic wrap on your countertop. Spoon the goat cheese mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log. Roll it up snugly in the wrap to retain its shape.

Place the log in the refrigerator to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing it to firm up for easy slicing later.

Once chilled, unwrap your cheese log and drizzle hot honey over the top, letting it cascade down the sides.

Sprinkle the remaining chopped bacon on top for an extra crunchy finish. Toast slices of bread until golden brown and crispy.

Serve the cheese log with the freshly toasted crostini around it, encouraging guests to dip in and enjoy.
