Ingredients
  

  • 24 large medjool dates pitted
  • 12 slices bacon cut in half crosswise (you should have 24 pieces)

  • 24 whole blanched almonds (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Halve dates lengthwise being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove pit. Place
  • a small amount of goat cheese in the centre of each date. Tuck in an almond and close.
  • Wrap a piece of bacon around each date.
  • Secure bacon with a toothpick (preferably, toothpicks that have been pre-soaked in water so that they don’t burn in the oven).
  • Place dates on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake until bacon is cooked through and slightly crispy, about 20 to 25 minutes.
