Bacon Wrapped Dates | Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Date Recipe
Servings: 12 dates
Ingredients
- 12 Medjool Dates
- 6 slices Bacon
- 4 ounces Goat Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Set the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup, and set a rack on top if you have one. This helps the bacon crisp evenly.
- Prep dates. If they aren’t already pitted, slice lengthwise and remove pits. If using goat cheese, fill the sliced dates at this time.
- Wrap. Cut bacon strips in half, or thirds if bacon is thick or long. Wrap one piece around each date.
- Secure. Use a toothpick through the seam to hold the bacon in place.
- Bake. Arrange seam-side down. Bake 18–25 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until bacon is browned and crisp.
- Serve. Let them cool for 5 minutes to allow the centers to cool, then serve them warm.
