Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates Recipe
Description
This appetizer begins by pitting and halving sweet, large Medjool dates before stuffing each with soft goat cheese, which adds tang and creaminess. Each filled date is wrapped with a half-strip of regular cut bacon, providing a smoky, salty crust that crisps during baking. The baking sheet is lined with parchment to catch drippings and facilitate easy cleanup.
Honey drizzled before baking lends an extra layer of sweetness that caramelizes slightly, enhancing complexity. Baking at 375°F for 12-15 minutes ensures the bacon crisps without overcooking the delicate filling.
These stuffed dates work well as cocktail appetizers or party finger food, offering rich yet approachable flavor combinations. They can be prepared in advance and baked shortly before serving.
Ingredients
- 24 Medjool dates
- 12 lices Bacon regular cut, (not thick-sliced)
- 4 oz goat cheese
- 2 Tbsp honey
Instructions

- Drizzle with honey and bake for 12-15 minutes or until the bacon is crispy.
