Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed With Almonds and Goat Cheese image

I watch Ted make these on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy tonight. Sweetpea has a similar recipes posted but they aren't stuffed. A nice balance of sweet and salt.

Time 28m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

24 large dates, pitted (Medjools are my favorites)
12 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise (24 pieces)
4 ounces goat cheese
24 unsalted almonds, toasted

Steps:

  • Move oven rack to upper third of oven and preheat to 500°F.
  • Stuff each date with an almond, then fill the remaining space with softened goat cheese using a pastry bag.
  • Wrap a piece of bacon around each date and secure with a pick.
  • Place dates on baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake until bacon is golden and crispy, 6-8 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool briefly before serving.
  • For presentation, insert picks into half a pineapple sliced lengthwise.
