Ingredients
- 1 log goat cheese I used a Cranberry Cinnamon Log but any flavor will work!
- 12 dates
- 1 cup Candied pecans
- 6 Slices bacon or turkey bacon
- 2 tbsp Honey
Instructions
- On a cutting board, slice your bacon once the long way, then once in half the short way to get 4 long bacon strips.
- Slice your dates in half, remove the pit if needed.
- Next, stuff the date with a generous amount of goat cheese.
- Top with a candied pecan. Option to spinkle with cinnamon if not using a cinnamon goat cheese.
- Wrap the bacon around the center of the stuffed date. I make sure the seam is on the bottom. Do not wrap more than once around. The bacon should be in a single strip and not overlap in more than one spot so it cooks fully.
- Drizzle with honey and add to the air fryer.
- Air fry on 375 for 10-13 minutes or until bacon is fully cooked.
