These sweet and salty hors d’oeuvres are easy, rich, and delicious. Plan for about three pieces per person. This recipe serves 12.
- 1 10-ounce tub pitted dates, about 38 dates
- 8 ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
- 1/2 pound bacon, sliced crosswise and lengthwise into quarters
- Wood toothpicks, to secure
Cut off tip at one end of each date, and use a small paring knife to open up the hole. Using your fingers, stuff each hole with goat cheese (you can also use a pastry bag). Meanwhile, microwave bacon for about 2 minutes, until partially cooked, but not browned.
Once all the dates are stuffed, wrap each with a strip of bacon. Secure with a wooden toothpick, or place, seam down, on a cookie sheet. Set broiler to low and broil 3 minutes (if you don’t have a low broiler setting, simply set sheet a little further from the heat). Turn dates, then continue broiling 3 to 4 minutes longer, or until browned. Drain on paper towel, cool for a few minutes, and serve warm.
