Ingredients

• 1 pound Smithfield bacon, cooked crisp and chopped
• 1 prepared (ready made) pie dough for 9” pie

Steps

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Press dough gently into bottom and sides of a 9” tart pan. Bake for 20 minutes. While the tart shell is warm, gently spread the Dijon mustard over the bottom and top with half of the goat cheese. Sprinkle with thyme.
