Irresistible Bacon-Wrapped Dates

Mouthwatering Bacon-Wrapped Dates Recipe

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a delicious and indulgent recipe that’s perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and savory flavors in this dish will have your taste buds singing.

For this recipe, you’ll need to gather some simple yet unique ingredients:

• Medjool dates (200g)
• Goat cheese (100g)
• Bacon strips (10 strips)
• Honey (30ml)

And don’t forget to grab these essential kitchen tools:

• baking sheet
• paring knife
• toothpicks

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Take each Medjool date and make a small incision to remove the pit, then fill the cavity with a dollop of creamy goat cheese. Wrap each cheese-filled date with a strip of bacon, securing it with a toothpick.

Once all dates are wrapped, place them on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle each one with a touch of honey for a sweet finish. Pop the sheet into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the bacon is crispy and the cheese is gooey.

As the dates bake, your kitchen will be filled with the mouthwatering aroma of sizzling bacon and caramelizing honey. The combination of sweet dates, tangy goat cheese, and savory bacon is truly a flavor explosion in every bite.

When the dates are golden brown and the bacon is crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. These bacon-wrapped dates are best enjoyed warm, so dig in and savor the delicious contrast of flavors and textures.

This recipe yields approximately 20 bacon-wrapped dates, with each serving weighing around 30 grams. One serving is roughly 110 calories, making it a delectable treat that won’t break the calorie bank.

Pro tip: For an extra flavor boost, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or a pinch of chili flakes to the goat cheese filling before wrapping the dates in bacon. The hint of heat will take this dish to the next level.

I hope you give this unique bacon-wrapped dates recipe a try and make it your own by experimenting with different cheeses or toppings. Enjoy the process of creating something delicious and share it with friends and family for a memorable dining experience!
