Holiday snack: Bacon-crusted goat cheese bites

Of course you need these. You need these because your nerves are absolutely shot after sitting in holiday mall traffic for an hour. You need these because if you have to swat the cat out of the Christmas tree one more time you will start considering making an ornament out of it. You need these because you’ve just discovered that the string of lights on the huge wreath outside your home have gone out in the middle of a strand and there are no more tiny lights in all of Williamson County. I apologize to our neighbors on that last one. We are definitely the house decorated by Charlie Brown.

But a bacon-crusted goat cheese bite cures all holiday frustrations. Really.

Bacon-crusted goat cheese bites

10 strips bacon

4 ounces herbed goat cheese

2 ounces cream cheese

Small green olives

Bake the bacon in the oven on a foil-lined, rimmed cookie sheet at 400 degrees for 20 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Drain on paper towels and chop into fine pieces.

Beat goat cheese and cream cheese together until creamy. Refrigerate about 30 minutes to let it harden a bit.

Pat the olives dry and cover in the goat cheese mixture. Roll in bacon. Call 911.
