Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to get it ready for cooking the bacon wrapped dates.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Dates

    Make a small slit in each date and remove the pit. If you're using chorizo, cut it into small pieces or crumble it. If you're using goat cheese, make small balls of cheese.

  3. 3

    Stuff the Dates

    Stuff each date with either a piece of chorizo or a ball of goat cheese. Make sure to fill them generously.

  4. 4

    Wrap with Bacon

    Take one slice of bacon and wrap it around each stuffed date. Secure with a toothpick if necessary.

Cooking

  1. 5

    Arrange on Baking Sheet

    Place the wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

  2. 6

    Bake

    Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and browned.

  3. 7

    Drizzle with Balsamic Glaze (Optional)

    Once removed from the oven, drizzle with balsamic glaze if desired for added flavor.

  4. 8

    Serve

    Remove the toothpicks if used, and serve warm as an appetizer or snack.
