Ingredients
- 8 ounces Bacon (do not use thick cut)
- 16 Medjool dates
- 4 ounces goat cheese or blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons honey optional
- kosher salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pit the Medjool dates by slicing lengthwise down the center without cutting all the way in half. The pit will easily come out.
- Stuff a small amount of goat cheese or blue cheese into center of date and close.
- Cut the bacon slices into halves.
- Roll each date with a piece of bacon and pierce with a toothpick to secure. The bacon should wrap about 1.5 times around the date, trim if it wraps more than that.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place the wrapped date on the lined baking pan.
- Place pan into cold oven and heat to 375℉. Bake for about 10 minutes, flip and bake for another 5 minutes, flip again and bake for another 5 minutes until bacon is golden brown and dates are not burned.
- Brush honey onto dates then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
- Serve while warm.
