Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Goat Cheese

As we all know, 2020 was a rough year, and we wanted to celebrate the end of it with some tasty treats, such as these bacon wrapped dates.  I got the recipe from here, but I found that I needed to change the baking time and temperature in order for the bacon to actually cook.  

Ingredients:

  • 8 slices of bacon (thiner works better), cut in half
  • 16 pitted dates
  • 4 oz. goat cheese
  • toothpicks
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.  Cut the dates lengthwise on wide side (like a hotdog bun).  Using a spoon, stuff a small amount of goat cheese the date's cavity.  Press the sides together to close.  Wrap each date with a slice of bacon half and secure with a toothpick.  Arrange evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes.  Flip the dates and cook for 5-8 minutes.  Flip again and cook for another 5-8 minutes, until bacon is browned.
