Bacon Wrapped Dates (4 Ingredient Appetizer)

Ingredients

• 6 slices Bacon ((cut into thirds crosswise))
• 18 medium Medjool dates ((pitted))
• 3 1/2 oz Goat cheese ((I used the creamy kind))
• 1 1/2 tbsp Honey

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

2. 2

   Slice the dates lengthwise, but not all the way through. They should open like a clamshell. Remove the pits at this stage if your dates are not already pitted.

3. 3

   Use a spoon to stuff the dates with goat cheese.

4. 4

   Wrap each date with a third slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place in the baking dish or baking sheet (I prefer this set), in a single layer. Don’t crowd the dish too much.

5. 5

   Bake bacon wrapped dates in the oven for 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Remove the baking dish and drizzle the honey over the dates. Put the baking dish back and bake for about 10 more minutes, or until the bacon is crispy to your liking.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and allow to rest for 5 minutes.
