....is Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese

We had these Bacon Wrapped Dates with Goat Cheese in Laguna Beach on our way to the Pageant of the Masters.

There's a chance they were so delicious because this was the view while we enjoyed them.

We decided to recreate them, just to be sure. With a little help from Mother Thyme.

Ingredients
18 large Medjool dates, pits removed
4oz goat cheese
6 strips thick bacon, cut in thirds

Preheat oven at 375 degrees. Slice dates lengthwise add in a piece of goat cheese.

Close tightly and wrap with bacon, securing with wooden pick.

Bake for 14-17 minutes, turning halfway.

I think they turned out pretty well, but I think the view really did make them amazing.

By the way Pageant of the Masters is an wonderful event in Laguna Beach where they recreate masterpieces using sets, props & real people. The results are incredible. Since no pictures are allowed during the performance you'll just have to go in person.
