Easy Tasty Dates with Goat Cheese

By Brie

"This is a very easy but good recipe. People will think you are a gourmet chef with these dates filled with chevre cheese and pecans!"

Ingredients

• 20 pitted dates
• 1/4 cup goat cheese
• 20 ounces pecans
• 10 slices bacon, cut in half
• 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tablespoon white sugar

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Slice open the dates, and stuff each with about 1/2 teaspoon goat cheese. Top each date with a pecan, using the goat cheese to hold the pecans in place. Wrap each date with 1/2 slice bacon.

Arrange the wrapped dates on a baking sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the bacon is crisp and evenly brown.

In a saucepan over medium heat, mix the balsamic vinegar and sugar until thickened. Pour over the dates to serve.
