Servings: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 6 strips of thinly sliced bacon you can substitute serrano ham or prosciutto
- 12 large dates
- 3 ounces of goat cheese
- 12 toothpicks
- 12 Marcona almonds (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- To prepare the dates, use a sharp knife to slice lengthways into each date from the edge to the pit. Carefully remove the pit, and replace it with a small amount of goat cheese (and the almond if using). Press the edges of the dates together to seal.
- Cut the strips of bacon in half, and wrap each date in one piece of bacon. Pierce the bacon, dates, and cheese all together with a toothpick so that the cheese is sealed inside.
- Arrange the dates evenly across a baking dish with raised lips, leaving space between each date. Bake for about 15 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is brown and crispy.
