Yield:
24 stuffed dates

Ingredients

  • 24 pitted dates

  • 4 ounces honey-flavored goat cheese, softened

  • 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary

  • 8 slices bacon, cut into thirds crosswise

  • 24 toothpicks

  • 1/4 cup hot honey, or as needed

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.

  2. Using a paring knife, cut each date lengthwise through to the middle. Combine goat cheese and rosemary in a bowl until evenly mixed. Stuff each date with the goat cheese mixture. Wrap each date with a small piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. 

  4. Turn on the broiler and place baking sheet 6 inches from heat. Broil until bacon is browned and slightly crispy, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from oven and place on a serving platter; drizzle dates with hot honey.
