"Bacon wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates" is just so many words. I mean, it gets to the point, but it really takes you right to the point. Then there's calling them Devils on Horseback, which is probably the most common name used for little bacon wrapped goodies like these, but that gets you no where near the point. Although it is kind of cute when you think about it, as if the bacon is the devil riding the little date (horse?)...and makes me think that maybe all tiny and delicious things wrapped up in something even more delicious have these kinds of names, liiiiike Pigs in a Blanket. Either way, these are so yummy and easy to make and no matter what you choose to call them, i'm pretty sure you'll love them (if you love bacon and goat cheese, of course).
What you need:
pitted dates
goat cheese
bacon
honey
What you do:
Soak toothpicks in water while prepping the dates.
Use a knife to cut each date lengthwise on one side so that you can open in up and smear in the goat cheese.
Once all of the dates are cut open, spread a little bit of goat cheese into each and close back up.
Slice bacon into thirds and, one at a time, wrap a piece of bacon around each date and poke a toothpick all the way through to secure.
Heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high, cook in batches of no more than ten-twelve dates, rotating them often, until the bacon is cooked and crispy all the way around.
