I watch Ted make these on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy tonight. Sweetpea has a similar recipes posted but they aren't stuffed. A nice balance of sweet and salt.

BACON WRAPPED DATES WITH ALMONDS AND GOAT CHEESE
Another great Saveur recipe.The already sweet dates caramelize in the oven,inbued with the smoky goodness of the bacon..then you bite into it-it's soft,and gooey,giving way to a even gooier ,creamy center and then you get a surprising little crunch from the salty almond.MMMMM.... These went over well at my B-day even among those that claimed to dislike goat cheese.(suggestions were made about subbing cream cheese,but I didn't hear any complaints;)The goat cheese really isn't overpowering;it's tangy creaminess is what harmonizes the sweet and savory flavors.I just wish I could eat these more often !

BACON WRAPPED GOAT CHEESE
Our local supermarket sells this fantastic little appetizer which they make in neighboring France. Seasoned goat cheese is rolled up in bacon and baked until gooey and the bacon browned. Serve with Baguettes, or baked potatoes. Even my wife who won't come near goat cheese likes this recipe. Easy to whip up and makes a great party appetizer.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Freeze the goat cheese for five to ten minutes if too soft and gooey so you can roll it into 8 lumberjack-thumb sized logs.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and roll in the chives.
- Wrap with bacon so that the whole log is covered.
- Place in an aluminum foil boat, or a shallow glass pan (i.e. a pie tin).
- Bake for ten minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and the cheese bubbly.
- You can do these on the grill too if you have an aluminum grill pan. Or in a pan on the stove over medium heat turning occasionally so that it is evenly browned.
BACON WRAPPED DATES WITH ALMONDS
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise...THESE ARE WONDERFUL. They are always the very first thing to go at a party. When I catered I always told my customers to order 2-3 times more of these than anything else. Most people expect scallops but are pleasantly surprised by the sweet wonderful flavor inside. A combination of sweet, crunchy, salty and smoky is a real winner! You won't be sorry you went out on a limb to try these. You can prep ahead of time, freeze and then pull them out of the freezer and bake right before the party.
