Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the bacon strips in half.
Use a grater to shave the jalapeno into fine pieces. In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese and jalapeño until smooth.
Use a small paring knife to cut the dates in half, leaving them attached on one side. Remove the pits.
Stuff the date with the goat cheese mixture, then press them closed.
Wrap each date with half a bacon strip. Secure the ends of the bacon by sticking a toothpick all the way through the date.
Lay them on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with cayenne pepper. Bake for 20+ minutes until the bacon is red and crispy.
Notes
Depending on the thickness of your bacon, these may take up to 30 minutes to bake.
