Bacon wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates

1. 1. Preheat Oven to 375 F.
2. Carefully cut a slit in as many dates as you're preparing. Stuff each date with goat cheese. Do not overstuff or the cheese will melt out in the oven.
3. Slice bacon strips into 3rds or halves. Wrap each stuffed date with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
4. Place prepared dates on a baking sheet lined with foil then topped with parchment. Bake for 20-25 min, turning halfway through until bacon is crispy.
5. Remove from the oven and place on a paper towel for 2 minutes to absorb excess grease.
6. Enjoy!
