BACON WRAPPED GOAT CHEESE

Our local supermarket sells this fantastic little appetizer which they make in neighboring France. Seasoned goat cheese is rolled up in bacon and baked until gooey and the bacon browned. Serve with Baguettes, or baked potatoes. Even my wife who won't come near goat cheese likes this recipe. Easy to whip up and makes a great party appetizer.

8 ounces goat cheese
8 slices bacon
1 bunch chives, finely chopped
salt

  • Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roll in the chives.
  • Wrap with bacon so that the whole log is covered.
  • Place in an aluminum foil boat, or a shallow glass pan (i.e. a pie tin).

Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 (4-ounce) quail, rinsed and patted dry
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 cup fresh thyme leaves
8 cloves garlic, peeled and halved
16 ounces soft fresh goat cheese
16 sprigs fresh rosemary
16 strips thick-cut bacon

Steps:

  • Season each quail inside and out with salt and pepper. Transfer to 1 to 2 large bowls, add oil, thyme, and garlic, and toss to combine. Refrigerate, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 48 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 500°F. Remove 1 quail from marinade. Stuff cavity with 1 ounce goat cheese and 1 sprig rosemary and tie legs together loosely with kitchen string. Wrap 1 strip bacon around breast and transfer quail, breast side up, to rimmed baking sheet. Repeat with remaining quail, using 2 to 3 baking sheets. Roast until just cooked through (cut into inner thigh; meat will still be slightly pink), about 15 minutes.

Tips:

- Choose ripe, firm prunes for the best flavor and texture. - If your prunes are dry, soak them in warm water for 15 minutes before wrapping them in bacon. - Use a sharp knife to score the prunes, making sure not to cut all the way through. This will help the bacon to adhere to the prunes. - Wrap the prunes tightly with bacon, making sure that there is no overlap. - Cook the prunes in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will allow them to cook evenly. - Bake the prunes for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and the prunes are soft. - Serve the prunes immediately, or let them cool and store them in the refrigerator for later.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped prunes with goat cheese are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sweet, savory, and salty, with a creamy goat cheese center. These prunes are sure to be a hit with your guests, and they are also a great way to use up any leftover bacon.
