I had thin asparagus so I bundled two asparagus togheter, with the goat cheese
and wrapped that with prosciutto.
Feta cheese is a common substitute for goat cheese.

Bacon tends to be much thicker and would require a longer cooking time, which may burn the asparagus. Prosciutto is a much thinner and more delicate cut of meat.
We have not tested this recipe with pepper jack but if you prefer that taste then it should work fine.
