Instructions
  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened goat cheese and cream cheese. Use a fork or a spatula to mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.

  3. On a separate plate, mix together the chopped crispy bacon, pecans, dried cranberries, and fresh rosemary.
  4. Lay a piece of plastic wrap on your counter. Spoon the cheese mixture onto the wrap and shape it into a log.
  5. Unwrap the log and roll it in the coating mixture until it’s completely covered.
  6. Place the finished log on a serving platter surrounded by fresh arugula.
  7. Refrigerate the log for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
