Bacon wrapped dates with goat cheese are a great appetizer for potlucks, holiday parties and entertaining guests all year long! Trust me, they'll be a party favorite!
Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
Slice open one side of the dates, cutting vertically. Make sure you do not cut through the entire date, you just want to open it up so we can stuff it with cheese. Carefully remove the pit and discard.
Stuff the opened dates with the goat cheese.
Wrap each date with half a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
Place the dates in a roasting pan or baking pan with the toothpick laying down on the sheet pan. Leave an inch or so in between each date.
Bake at 375F for 15 minutes. Flip the bacon wrapped date over, so that the toothpick is still laying on it's side. Bake for another 15 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked and crispy.
