Description
Bacon-wrapped dates are the best appetizer. They are salty and savory, sweet and sticky all at once, they are addicting!
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 pitted medjool dates*
- 1/2 3 ounce package goat cheese
- 12 strips bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Prepare a rimmed baking sheet by lining it with a cooling rack so that the bacon grease can drip onto the pan.
- Slit the dates lengthwise. Stuff them with the goat cheese and push closed.**
- Slice the bacon in half lengthwise. Wrap the bacon around the dates and secure with toothpicks.
- Cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the bacon is crispy. Make sure to turn the dates halfway through the cooking process. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
* If you can’t find pitted dates then remove the pit by slicing the date lengthwise and carefully prying the pit out of the meat of the date.
** I stuffed half of my dates with goat cheese and kept the other half unstuffed. I loved both versions, it is fun to have a mixture
