Can I make/prep this ahead of time?

I recommend working up to step 4 (stuffing and wrapping the dates). Then place in an air-tight container or wrap tightly to preserve in the fridge until ready to serve (up to 2 days prior). Then continue with step 5 when ready to bake.

Ingredients

Servings: 12-20

6 oz. Creamy Goat Cheese
12-20 plump Medjool Dates
1/3 cup Honey or Maple Syrup
2-3 tbsp. Milk
12 slices Bacon, thinly sliced, cut in half
2 Rosemary Sprigs, chopped
Salt & Black Pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking pan with parchment paper.
Cut a slit lengthwise in the dates, splitting them open to remove and discard the pit.
In a small bowl, use rubber spatula to mix the goat cheese, milk, 2 tbsp. honey, and chopped rosemary together. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. (The mixture should be silky smooth and creamy, not dry.)
Stuff each date with the goat cheese mix, then wrap in bacon. Place on the prepared baking pan.
Brush with the remaining honey. Sprinkle with additional salt, chopped rosemary, and black pepper (optional).
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until bacon is crispy and golden.
Serve warm with crushed walnuts (optional) and honey. Enjoy!
