  • Remove the cheese disc and shape it around the end of a tall glass to form a basket.
  • Allow the basket to set on a wire rack and repeat for the remaining three baskets.
  • Fry the bacon in olive oil until golden-brown.
  • Add garlic and bread cubes to the pan and stir-fry until crisp.
  • Mix the soft goats' cheese, fruit, herbs, and salad leaves in a bowl.
