Ingredients:
- 20 Medjool dates, pitted
- 4 ounces goat cheese, softened
- 10 slices bacon, cut in half
- toothpicks for securing
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare dates: Gently slice each date lengthwise to create an opening if not already pitted. Fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese and press closed.
- Wrap dates: Wrap each stuffed date with a half slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- Bake: Arrange the bacon-wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet, seam-side down. Bake for 15–20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving platter and let cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
Notes
- Try drizzling with a little honey or balsamic glaze for an extra touch of sweetness.
- These make an easy appetizer for parties and can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving.
