Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Medjool dates
- 4 ounces Cream cheese (or goat cheese)
- 10 pieces Bacon slices
- 20 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the pit from each date and discard.
Fill each date with about 1 to 1.5 teaspoons of cream cheese (or goat cheese), smoothing it out with a small spoon or knife.
Cut each bacon slice in half so you have 20 shorter pieces. Wrap one piece of bacon snugly around each stuffed date.
Secure the bacon in place by inserting a toothpick through the center of each wrapped date.
Place the wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to ensure proper cooking.
Bake the dates in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Turn the dates over halfway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Remove the wrapped dates from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 5 minutes before plating.
Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy warm as an appetizer or snack!
