Preparation

Step 1

In a small pan, toast the pecans over medium-high heat until fragrant, about 5 minutes. Watch them carefully! Let cool completely.

Combine the pecans, bacon, and parsley in a pie plate or large platter.

Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper.

Combine the goat cheese, honey, half and half, and salt in a large bowl. Scoop out 1-2 inch balls and carefully roll in the pecan/bacon mixture. Set on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet or platter. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator 30 minutes before serving to take the chill off.

Serve with toasted baguette slices or crackers.
