Bacon Wrapped Stuffed Dates With Balsamic Reduction image

Sinfully delicious!! Salty and sweet, crispy and gooey!! Yum! Surprisingly easy and look fantastic. I had these at a restaurant and then went on a hunt to find a similar recipe. Found one online and tweaked it some. If you use thick cut bacon, par-cook it some before wrapping dates.

Time 30m

Yield 24 dates, 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup sliced almonds, toasted
6 ounces goat cheese
24 pitted dates
1 lb bacon (see note)

  • Cut small slit in dates and stuff with small amount of cheese mixture.

These were a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less bacon next time.

I'm not a fan of balsamic reduction, so I omitted it. The dates were still delicious.

The dates were a little too sweet for my taste, but the bacon and balsamic reduction helped to balance out the flavors.
