Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed With Cherry Tomato Goat Cheese

1. 1

   Prep the oven by pre-heating to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Take your goat cheese out of the fridge to soften.

2. 2

   Roast the cherry tomatoes in a sauce pan for about 10 minutes until they start to soften in the middle (some may even break open).

3. 3

   Let the cherry tomatoes cool for about 5 minutes. Combine by mixing and mashing the goat cheese and tomatoes with a fork until well combined. Set aside.

4. 4

   Start with a date (don't get nervous, it's not with a person). Slice the date vertically but not all the way through, just enough to stuff with the cheeses. Repeat with all of the dates.

5. 5

   Slice your bacon in half horizontally. If your dates are thicker, cut the bacon slices into thirds. We don't want those babes too thick.

6. 6

   Start stuffing those sweet little dates with the cherry tomato goat cheese. A little goes a long way.

7. 7

   Once all the dates are stuffed, begin wrapping them with your bacon slices and secure with a toothpick.

8. 8

   Stick them in the oven for 15 minutes. Halfway through cooking, flip them so they cook evenly. You'll want a nice crispy texture to the bacon so if you need to cook them longer, do so until they are crispy. Eat up!
