Ingredients for Goat Cheese Pops with Herbs, Pecans, and Bacon:

Cream cheese - 8 oz. (not whipped)

Goat Cheese - 4 oz.

Thyme - 2 tbsp. (chopped and divided)

Herb mixture - to taste (any of your choosing)

Salt and Pepper - to taste

Bacon slices - 6 (cooked)

Pecans - 1/4 cup

Method of preparing the Goat Cheese Pops with Herbs, Pecans, and Bacon:

Mix the spices and herbs.
In a food processor, place the cream cheese, goat cheese, and 1 tablespoon of herbs. Process until all is combined. Form small balls of the mixture, place them on a plate covered with parchment paper, and insert lollipop sticks into the center of each one. Refrigerate.
Using the food processor again, process the bacon, 1 tablespoon of herbs, and the pecans, until a fine, crumbly mixture is achieved. Roll the refrigerated balls in the bacon mixture to coat them, and store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Chef's Tip:

Packages of goat cheese sometimes go by the name "chevre" in the store. Either is fine.
