Ingredients
- 6 slices bacon cut crosswise into thirds
- 18 Medjool dates medium; pitted
- 3 1/2 ounces goat cheese creamy
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Slit each date lengthwise without cutting all the way through, so it opens like a clamshell. Remove any pits.
- Spoon goat cheese into each date. Wrap each with one-third of a bacon slice and secure with a toothpick.
- Place the dates in a single layer in a baking dish or on a baking sheet, without crowding. Bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the dish, drizzle the honey over the dates and return them to the oven for about 10 more minutes, until the bacon is as crisp as you like it.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
Notes
The prep time includes the 5-minute rest. Remind guests about the toothpicks. Do not leave the platter out for more than 2 hours.
