Allow the bacon to become "candied". Remove the bacon. To the skillet, add the honey and set over low heat to warm, about 2-3 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, and a pinch of salt in a food processor and pulse until smooth and creamy. The goat cheese mix can be kept in the fridge for up to 3 days, but bring to room temp before serving.3. Spoon the goat cheese into a serving bowl and then top with the warm bacon and honey.
