  • 8 oz goat cheese soft
  • 1 lb bacon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  • Take one date, slice along one side of the fruit and remove the pit.
  • In the opening you created, stuff a generous amount of goat cheese.
  • Wrap the date stuffed with goat cheese in a half of a strip of bacon. Pin in place with a toothpick, if desired. Place on a baking sheet.

Notes

*Use thin bacon if possible as it is easier to wrap with. Thicker bacon may require a longer cooking time.
