Bacon wrapped stuffed jalapeños instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Either use nonstick cookie/baking sheet or prep by covering with aluminum foil and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
- Slit the jalapeño vertically on the side, but do not slice all the way through. Core and de-seed to your preference..
- Do the same with the dates (I used medjool dates), but it's not a big deal if you accidentally slice all the way through..
- Using 1 teaspoon (or small spoon), dollop out some of the goat cheese (or gorgonzola or similar consistency cheese that you'd like the flavor to come out) into the date(s) and close the date up. Since the cheese will be creamy/sticky, the date should stay closed..
- If you're using a large jalapeño, you can stuff 2 of these stuffed dates (or figs) into it..
- *Keep in mind that depending on the size of your jalapeño, you may only be able to stuff it with one of these stuffed dates (or figs)..
- If you LOVE bacon (or prosciutto, if you choose to use that), then you can use two slices or one thick cut, whatever your preference. I used one slice and wrapped around the jalapeño. Use toothpicks to hold in place, as necessary..
- Load your bacon wrapped jalapeños stuffed with goat cheese stuffed dates (or whatever variety you end up with) onto the baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or check every 5 minutes thereafter until the bacon is crispy/at the consistency you and/or your guests enjoy it. (If you've stored it away in the fridge before baking it (for an event, e.g.), then double the initial baking time.).
- Let cool for 5 minutes, but be aware they're piping hot! 10 minutes might cool them too much, but use your discretion and kick off the game (or whatever you happen to be doing while enjoying these delights)!.
