Ingredients

Scale
  • 10.5 ounces goat cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 2/3 cups sliced almonds
  • 1 teaspoon herbs de Provence 
  • 6 fresh Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
  • Sea Salt and Pepper to taste 
  • Extra honey for drizzling 
  • Crackers or crusty sliced bread for serving 

Instructions

  1. In a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, whip goat cheese, honey and heavy cream until smooth (about 1 minute) scraping down the sides as needed. Spread the whipped goat cheese onto a serving plate. 
  2. Chop bacon slices into small pieces and then cook in a pan over medium heat until crisp. Remove bacon to drain on a paper towel, leaving a teaspoon or so of the bacon grease in the pan. Add sliced almonds and herbs and toast until golden, watching carefully. 
  3. Sprinkle crispy bacon, toasted almonds, and chopped dates evenly over the goat cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and drizzle with honey to desired sweetness. Serve at room temperature with crackers or crusty sliced bread.
