Method

STAP 1
Fry the bacon lardons in a dry pan until crisp. Lift them out and let them drain on kitchen paper.

STAP 2
Whisk olive oil, honey, vinegar, mustard, salt and pepper into a smooth dressing.

STAP 3
Briefly warm the goat cheese for 5 to 6 minutes in a preheated oven at 180°C so it softens without collapsing.
