I never want them to end, even when I smell the herbs from the chicken bubbling away for the next round of groaning.<\/p>\n<p>The salad underneath it balances the heavy nature of bacon and cheese, just as the gentle balsamic sweetness on the greens counters the savory meat flavor. Goat cheese can be too, well, goaty, but the baking of it accomplishes the same mellowing that happens with garlic, onions, and the lot.
