Notes
If your goat cheese is too crumbly, you can mix in a little bit of cream cheese to make it easier to work with.
You can also add a sprinkle of chopped nuts, such as walnuts or pecans, to the goat cheese for extra crunch and flavor.
If you don't have toothpicks, you can use kitchen twine to secure the bacon.
