Dates Wrapped in Bacon
These bacon-wrapped dates are stuffed with tangy goat cheese and impossible to resist. The dates become caramelized and sticky in the oven while the smoky bacon crisps up around the outside for the most amazing sweet and salty bite. They’re easy to prep in advance and always the first thing to disappear at a party!
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each date in half lengthwise, then carefully remove the pit if present. You should have two even halves.
Use a small spoon to fill the cavity of each half with goat cheese, smoothing so the filling is level with the sides.
Press the two halves back together to form 20 stuffed whole dates.
Cut the bacon slices in half crosswise to make 20 shorter pieces. Wrap one piece of bacon around each stuffed date and secure with a toothpick.
Arrange the wrapped dates evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is melted.
Allow the dates to cool for a few minutes. Drizzle with honey, garnish with fresh rosemary, and serve warm.
