These Bacon Wrapped Dates had only three ingredients – but one was bacon – and were scoffed up in a satisfying way.
The three ingredients:
Dates – mine had been pitted
Bacon – thin rindless sort
Goat's cheese
Ok – to make them make a cut in each date and fill the date with a bit of goat's cheese. Push the date back together.
Wrap each date in bacon – about a third of a rasher should do it. Secure with a toothpick (put it through the meat not the fat of the bacon).
Bake for 10 minutes in a hottish oven, turn them over using the toothpicks and take them out when they are golden – about 5 minutes did mine.
The result is a scrumptious melding of sweet, salty and smoky. Irresistible.
I put together the dish the day before and just put it into the fridge (not cooked) on baking paper in an oven dish. I then just whipped it out to warm up at the same time as the oven was heating. Very stress free.
Sounds delicious!
