Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Dates

 

16-20 dates

8-10 strips of bacon

4 ounces of soft goat cheese

 

Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. With a paring knife, make a small cut in each date without slicing the entire thing all the way through (you just want to leave enough room to add goat cheese to the inside). If there are pits, remove them. Use a small spoon to fill each date with goat cheese. Cut each piece of bacon in half (width-wise) and wrap each stuffed date with half a piece of bacon. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until the bacon is cooked all the way through and starting to get crispy around the edges. Serve hot and enjoy!
