Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed wifath Goat Cheese and Almonds

Dates are filled with goat cheese and an almond and then wrapped with bacon and baked. The recipe may not be too complicated, but I have a couple tricks that make preparing this recipe even faster and easier.

Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 15 minutes
Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 18 pieces

Ingredients

  • 18 Pitted Dates
  • about 2 ounces of Goat Cheese
  • 18 Almonds
  • 6 slices of Bacon
  • a pastry bag

Instructions

  1. Let the goat cheese come to room temperature. Then place it in the pastry bag. Cut the slices of bacon into thirds.
  2. Slice the dates open with kitchen sheers by cutting through the hole left from pitting the dates. (Most dates have a small hole through the center).
  3. Open up the date and use the pastry bag to pipe goat cheese into the center of the date. Add an almond and close the date. Wrap a piece of bacon around the date. Continue assembling the dates, and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet with the seam of the bacon facing down.
  4. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes, until the bacon is crispy. Place the bacon wrapped dates on a paper towel to absorb any extra grease, then serve. You can assemble the bacon wrapped dates a day ahead.
