Bacon Wrapped Dates W/Goat Cheese

Naturally Gluten-Free Appetizers
Bacon Wrapped Dates W/Goat Cheese
Serves 8 people

INGREDIENTS
8 Slices Bacon
16 Dates
4 Ozs Goat Cheese
Toothpicks

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350ºF
A rimmed baking sheet with an oven-safe rack set inside

Pre-cook the bacon by arranging the slices in a single layer the rack set inside, careful not to stretch the slices too much. Place the pan in the preheated oven and set the timer for 20 minutes. Do not overcook; the slices should still be very soft and pliable. When done, immediately place the bacon on paper towels to drain and cool off.

Slice the dates lengthwise on one side to create an opening and 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 the baking rack and bake for 10-15 minutes, depending on how well cooked you prefer your bacon.  When done, immediately place on paper towels to drain and cool off. When cool enough to touch, arrange on serving plate. Can be served warm or at room temperature.

NOTE: Always read labels carefully
