What you'll need
- 1 Delamere Dairy Plain Goats’ Cheese Log (pre-sliced into 7 discs)
- 7 slices of smoked streaky bacon
- Honey (optional, for drizzling)
How to make it...
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan) or gas mark 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Take one slice of Delamere Dairy’s pre-sliced goats' cheese log. Wrap a slice of smoked streaky bacon around the cheese, overlapping the ends to secure it. Place the wrapped cheese seam-side down on the prepared tray. Repeat for the remaining discs.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes or until the bacon is golden, crispy, and the cheese is warm and creamy.
- For a festive flair, drizzle the bacon-wrapped goats' cheese with a little honey while still warm.
- Serve immediately as a canapé, starter, or alongside a fresh salad. These bites are best enjoyed warm for a gooey, indulgent centre.
