Ingredients

  • 20 Dates
  • 6 oz Goat Cheese softened
  • 10 slices of Bacon
  • Fresh Chopped Parsley optional

Instructions

  • Preheat the grill over medium high heat (approximately 400 degrees F).

  • Wrap each of the dates with a piece of the bacon and secure it to the date with a toothpick.
  • Place them on the grill and grill for 10-15 minutes flipping every few minutes until the bacon is browned and crispy.
  • Remove the dates from the grill and let the dates sit for 5 minutes.
  • Top the dates with the fresh chopped parsley and then they are ready to serve and enjoy!

Refrigerate the leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
