Categories     Appetizer

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

8 slices bacon (I find that thin bacon works better)
16 dates
4 ounces goat cheese
toothpicks

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the dates lengthwise on one side to create an opening. Remove the pit.
  • Using a spoon, stuff a small amount of goat cheese into the cavity of each date and press the sides together to close.
  • Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each date with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  • Arrange evenly on a baking sheet with raised edges (otherwise grease will get everywhere) and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the dates and use the toothpick to turn each one so it's laying on its side. Bake for another 5-8 minutes, until browned to your liking, and turn the dates to the other side and repeat. Remove from the oven, place on a paper towel lined plate, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     Appetizer     Gluten Free     Grain Free     Holiday     Nut Free     Snack

Time 1h5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1-2 ounces goat cheese
1-2 squares 72% dark chocolate, chopped into pieces (this is optional)
1 (12 ounce) package bacon
20-24 pitted dates
For the glaze:
1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
Cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You'll want to make sure your baking sheet has some edges, as the bacon does produce lots of grease when cooked.
  • Split each date in half without breaking them fully apart. Make sure the pit is fully removed and discarded from the date if it already isn't.
  • Add a small piece of dark chocolate to your opened date. Spread a small amount of goat cheese mixture inside, and press together to close your date. Repeat with all of your dates.
  • Next, cut your strips of bacon in half. Take one date and wrap ½ piece of bacon around it. Repeat this step until each date is wrapped in ½ slice of bacon.
  • Place all bacon-wrapped dates on large baking sheet with the bacon seam side down.
  • Brush each bacon wrapped date with a little maple syrup. Sprinkle cayenne pepper on each date (use more if you like spicy flavors, and omit or only use a small pinch if you do not like spicy flavors). Stick a toothpick into each date.
  • Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, then turn date on its side so that the toothpick is parallel to the baking sheet. Bake for 10 more minutes. Then flip dates to other side and bake again for 10 minutes or until bacon is slightly golden brown. Transfer to a plate to cool. Serve immediately. Serves 10, 2 bacon-wrapped dates each.

Goat Cheese Stuffed Bacon Wrapped Dates with Rosemary Honey...my new holiday appetizer. They're quick, easy, and everyone loves these sweet and savory bites.

Provided by Tieghan Gerard

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 ounces creamy goat cheese
24 plump Medjool dates
12 slices thinly sliced bacon, cut in half
1/3 cup honey
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (using more or less to taste)
kosher salt and black pepper
candied or toasted walnuts ((optional))

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Split the dates in half lengthwise, but don't cut the date all the way through. Remove the pit and discard. Stuff each date with goat cheese, then gently squeeze to seal. Wrap each date with bacon and place seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining dates.3. In a small bowl, combine the honey, rosemary, cayenne, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Evenly drizzle 1/2 the honey over the dates. The goal is to coat the bacon in honey so that it caramelizes in the oven. 4. Transfer to the oven and bake 20-25 minutes, until the bacon is crisping. Serve warm or room temperature with any remaining honey and walnuts, if desired.

CREAMY GOAT CHEESE, BACON AND DATE DIP



Creamy Goat Cheese, Bacon and Date Dip image

This appetizer is like a bacon-wrapped date in dip form - and every bit as luxe, sweet and simultaneously smoky as that sounds. Here, as you swipe crusty bread through the smooth cheese, you'll gather chunks of bacon and a bit of date, toffee-like from a quick fry in the meaty fat. You could embellish further, with nuts, chile or honey, or you could sip Champagne and dig in just as merrily - with friends hovering nearby for their turn.

Provided by Ali Slagle

Categories     dips and spreads, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and pepper
5 ounces thick-cut bacon, cut in 1/2-inch thick
10 Medjool dates, pitted and cut into quarters lengthwise, or roughly chopped
Honey, red-pepper flakes, black pepper, flaky salt, toasted sliced almonds or chopped pistachios, for garnish (optional)
Crusty bread, grainy crackers, endive or fennel, for serving

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the goat cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish or ovenproof skillet, and spread into an even layer. Bake until warmed through and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, then add the dates to the bacon fat in the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the insides are warm and the outsides blister, about 1 minute.
  • Top the baked cheese with the dates and bacon, and garnish as you wish. Serve at once.

Tips:

  • To easily remove the pits from the dates, use a sharp knife to make a slit along the side of the date and then gently pry the pit out.
  • If you don't have goat cheese, you can use a different type of soft cheese, such as cream cheese or brie.
  • To make the bacon-wrapped dates even more flavorful, try marinating them in a mixture of olive oil, herbs, and spices before wrapping them in bacon.
  • If you're short on time, you can skip the step of marinating the dates and simply wrap them in bacon and bake them.
  • Be sure to watch the dates closely while they're baking, as they can burn easily.

Conclusion:

Bacon-wrapped stuffed dates are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover bacon and dates. Whether you're serving them at a party or enjoying them as a snack, these dates are sure to be a hit.
