Instructions

1

Preheat and Prep

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking sheet with a wire rack. Carefully slice each date lengthwise to open it up and remove the pit if not already pitted.

2

Stuff and Wrap

Fill each date with approximately half a teaspoon of goat cheese and press it closed gently. Wrap one half-slice of bacon tightly around each stuffed date and secure with a toothpick.

3

Bake Until Crispy

Arrange wrapped dates on the wire rack and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, flipping once halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and caramelized. Let cool for 3 minutes before serving.

Substitutions

goat cheesecream cheese or blue cheese for a stronger flavor punch
thin-cut baconturkey bacon for a lighter version though it may not crisp as much

Common mistakes

Using thick-cut bacon means the bacon will not cook through before the dates over-caramelize and burn on the outside
Skipping the wire rack causes the dates to sit in bacon grease and become soggy rather than caramelized
