1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
6 ounces Texas goat cheese, crumbled

Cook bacon in large, heavy skillet until lightly browned. Remove bacon, crumble, and reserve. Add cabbage to hot bacon fat in skillet, and stir over high heat until cabbage is wilted, about 6 to 8 minutes.
