Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese

8 slices of bacon (thinner is easier to work with)

16 dates - you can buy them pitted so you don't have to do it yourself!

4 ounces of goat cheese

Toothpicks

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Using a spoon, stuff a small amount of goat cheese into the cavity of each date.

Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each date with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.

Arrange evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Take the dates out and, using the toothpick, turn the dates so they are lying on their side. Bake for another 5-8 minutes, until browned to your liking, and turn the dates to the other side and repeat.

Remove from the oven, put on paper towel lined plate, and let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Makes 8 servings (2 dates per serving)
