Yield: 16

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Total Time: 40 Minutes

Ingredients

• 1 oz/140g goat cheese 
• 1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped, plus more for garnish 
• 1 tsp fresh rosemary, chopped 
• 2 Tbsp Nate’s Organic Honey, plus more for drizzling 
• ¼ tsp salt 
• ¼ tsp black pepper 
• 16 Medjool dates, plump (not too dry) pitted
• 8 slices of thin-cut bacon, cut in half

Add Nate's Honey to your cart

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

In a bowl add goat cheese, chopped thyme and rosemary, honey, salt and pepper. Mix to combine. 

To the pitted dates, add a small spoonful of the goat cheese mixture and press the sides gently to seal it in (they’ll kind of look like hotdogs!). Wrap each date with half of a bacon slice and place on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle more honey onto the dates.

Place in center of oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy. Remove from oven and place on paper towel lined plate for 5 minutes before serving. Drizzle with more honey and a sprinkle of fresh thyme. Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy!
