Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grab a non-stick sheet pan and set aside.
Cut you bacon in half. Making for 10 shorter pieces. Use a knife or your fingers to open up the dates and remove the put if they did not come unpitted.
Fill each date with desired amount of goat cheese using a spoon.
Wrap in bacon. It is best to Start bu covering the top open section, wrapping around tightly, then having it end on the side of the date.
Stick a toothpick through the side to close the date and ensure the bacon attaches to the date. Repeat until all dates are complete.
Place on nonstick pan and bake in the oven for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Notes
Never eat raw or undercooked meat. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the bacon is up to safe temperature.
You can even serve with the toothpick in for easier snacking!
Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.
