I had this really nice French Bread and a small log of high quality Goad Cheese. So I made a Bacon Goat Cheese Crostini...It was good, But The Bacon overshadowed the Goat Cheese a little bit...So...Looking back, This is the recipe I SHOULD'VE DONE lol. But, we live and we learn. So heres the Recipe I wish I would've done. I hope...
