Bacon Wrapped Dates With Brie Food

BACON-WRAPPED DATES WITH BRIE AND BALSAMIC HONEY

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F / 204°C. Spray a sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
• Stuff each date with brie. Wrap with half a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Spread dates out on sheet pan, leaving some space in between.
• Transfer dates to the oven and cook for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk together honey, vinegar, and thyme leaves.
• Remove the dates from the oven and flip each one over. Brush or drizzle the balsamic honey over the top of the dates.
• Return dates to the oven and continue roasting until bacon is crisp, 5 to 10 minutes more. (Keep an eye on them towards the end of cooking and pull them if they start to get very dark brown or show any sign of burning. The sugars in the honey will cause the bacon to brown quickly.)
• Serve warm.
