- Preheat the grill to high. Arrange the bacon on a rack, brush with 2 tsp of the honey, then grill for 3-4 mins until golden and crisp.
- Meanwhile, use a fork to whip the soft cheese in a bowl with half the thyme and some seasoning.
- Thickly spread each slice of toast with the whipped cheese, then top each with 2 rashers of bacon. Sprinkle with the remaining thyme and the crushed chillies (if using). Drizzle over the remaining honey and serve with the lettuce leaves.
