Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine the chèvre cheese, heavy cream, honey, fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Stuff the Dates

    Carefully make a slit in each Medjool date and remove the pit. Stuff each date with one Marcona almond and a spoonful of the chèvre mousse.

  3. 3

    Wrap with Bacon

    Wrap each stuffed date with a slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if necessary.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the bacon-wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as an appetizer.
