Easy to make
appy and very elegant to serve.
INGREDIENTS
24 large
dates, pitted
3 ounces of goat
cheese
24 fresh
basil leaves
12 strips of
regular sliced bacon delectable
Heat the
oven to 375°F. Aluminum foil should be used to line a baking pan.
Cut the
dates lengthwise almost in half without cutting all the way through,
eliminating any pits if necessary. Spread out the dates.
Mash the
goat cheese with a fork in a small bowl until smooth. If required, a few drops
of milk can be added to obtain a smooth consistency. The goat cheese should be
spread within the dates. Close the dates by placing a basil leaf on half of
each.
Place the
bacon pieces between two layers of paper towels and microwave for 90 seconds on
High to render some of the fat and pre-cook.
The bacon
strips should be cut in half. Wrap each date with a slice of pre-cooked bacon,
leaving 1/2 inch on both sides. To keep the skewer in place, use a toothpick.
Arrange on a baking sheet coated with foil.
The cooking
time is 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, flip the appetizers over, and cook
for another 10 to 15 minutes until crispy and golden brown.
Drain on
paper towels before serving heated. This recipe yields around 24 pieces.
