Goat Cheese + Bacon Pops

These are my new favorite app. Make them tiny. Pop them in your mouth. Repeat. Don't forget to share.

The original recipe is on theKitchn blog under Bacon Pops.

I'm sure that version is just fine, but you know me... can't leave well enough alone.

I used fresh rosemary as my herb of choice and used a little less than called for. I also added some finely chopped and browned shallots to the mixture. Make sure the bacon is super crispy - the nice little crunch is rather unexpected for some odd reason. I served them on a tiny wedge of pear because we ate all our apples. Actually my husband used them to make a big pot of applesauce. He does that a lot.

Yet another reason to never be caught without a log of goat cheese in your fridge.
