Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the dates lengthwise on one side to create an opening. Remove the pit.
- Using a spoon, stuff a small amount of goat cheese into the cavity of each date and press the sides together to close.
- Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each date with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
- Arrange evenly on a baking sheet with raised edges (otherwise grease will get everywhere) and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the dates and use the toothpick to turn each one so it's laying on its side. Bake for another 5-8 minutes, until browned to your liking, and turn the dates to the other side and repeat. Remove from the oven, place on a paper towel lined plate, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

I watch Ted make these on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy tonight. Sweetpea has a similar recipes posted but they aren't stuffed. A nice balance of sweet and salt.

BACON WRAPPED DATES WITH ALMONDS AND GOAT CHEESE
Another great Saveur recipe.The already sweet dates caramelize in the oven,inbued with the smoky goodness of the bacon..then you bite into it-it's soft,and gooey,giving way to a even gooier ,creamy center and then you get a surprising little crunch from the salty almond.MMMMM.... These went over well at my B-day even among those that claimed to dislike goat cheese.(suggestions were made about subbing cream cheese,but I didn't hear any complaints;)The goat cheese really isn't overpowering;it's tangy creaminess is what harmonizes the sweet and savory flavors.I just wish I could eat these more often !
