Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bacon-Wrapped Stuffed Dates with Goat Cheese and Pecans.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious treat.
Step 2
Next, take each date and gently slice it open, creating just enough space to tuck in about half a teaspoon of creamy goat cheese.
Step 3
For a delightful crunch, place a pecan right on top of the cheese, letting the cheese act as a little glue to keep it secure.
Step 4
Now, wrap each stuffed date snugly with half a slice of bacon, making sure the bacon envelops the date completely for that perfect savory bite.
Step 5
Arrange your beautifully wrapped dates on a baking sheet in a single layer, giving them room to crisp up nicely.
Step 6
Pop them into your preheated oven and let them bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the bacon turns irresistibly crispy and golden brown.
Step 7
While those tasty morsels are baking, take a moment to create a luscious balsamic reduction.
Step 8
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine balsamic vinegar and a sprinkle of sugar, stirring gently until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes syrupy.
Step 9
Once your dates are out of the oven, drizzle that rich balsamic reduction over them for an extra touch of flavor before serving.
Step 10
Enjoy these delightful bites that are sure to impress your guests and elevate any gathering!.
