Add a tablespoon salt to a large pot of water, and bring it to a rolling boil. Fill a large bowl halfway with the ice, and water. Add the green beans to the boiling water, and blanch for 3 minutes.
12 ounces fresh green beans
Remove and immediately add to the ice water to stop the cooking process. The blanched green beans can be kept in the ice water in the refrigerator until you are ready to proceed.
2 cups crushed ice
Lay out a bacon slice, place a ½ tbsp dollop of cheese on top, then sprinkle with summer savory.
4 slices thick bacon, 2 tbsp fromage chèvre (goat cheese), 1/2 tsp summer savory
Drain the blanched green beans, and dry them with a paper towel. Toss with salt, and pepper. Lay six or eight of the green beans across a bacon slice and roll into a bundle. Place the bundle seam side down on a cookie sheet lined with foil. Repeat for remaining green beans, using additional bacon slices as necessary. Pin each with a toothpick.
1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp black pepper
Pre-heat your oven up to 350℉. Bake in the oven for about 45 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked, and the fat is fully rendered.
Arrange baked bundles on a fancy serving plate. Add a sliced almond on top of each bundle for garnish.

Very tasty, and presents nicely. Perfect for special occasions, or holiday meals.
