These bacon-wrapped dates are stuffed with creamy goat cheese for the perfect salty-sweet appetizer bite. Deglet Noor dates are smaller than Medjool dates and work best for this recipe. Center-cut bacon has had fat removed from either side of the strip, making it a leaner choice. If you’re having trouble keeping the bacon in place, secure it with a wooden pick before baking.
2 ounces soft goat cheese
1 tablespoon warm water
1/2 teaspoon finely chopped fresh thyme, plus more leaves for garnish
32 small dates, such as Deglet Noor
11 slices center-cut bacon, cut into 2 1/2-inch pieces
