Bacon-Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese
Oven-roasted Deglet Noor dates stuffed with creamy goat cheese and wrapped in crispy turkey bacon, served over a bed of fresh arugula for a peppery crunch.
INGREDIENTS
4 whole Deglet Noor dates
8 slices Turkey bacon
0.5 oz Goat cheese
1 cup Arugula
0.25 tsp Black pepper
0.25 tsp Smoked paprika
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Use a small paring knife to slice each date lengthwise to remove the pit, creating a clean pocket for the filling.
Carefully spoon about a teaspoon of goat cheese into the center of each date, pressing the sides together slightly to close.
Wrap one full slice of turkey bacon tightly around each stuffed date, ensuring the seam is on the bottom, and secure with a toothpick.
Arrange the wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with black pepper and smoked paprika.
Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, turning the dates halfway through the cooking time, until the bacon is golden and crisp.
Place the fresh arugula on a serving plate and top with the warm bacon-wrapped dates to enjoy immediately.
