Turn on the broiler and place the baking sheet 6 inches from the heat. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, watching carefully, until the bacon is browned and crispy. Avoid burning. (2 minutes)
09 Step

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Drizzle with hot honey and, if desired, a touch of balsamic glaze for extra depth of flavor. Serve immediately and watch them disappear!
For a vegetarian option, skip the bacon and wrap the dates in prosciutto instead. It crisps up beautifully under the broiler!
If you can't find honey-flavored goat cheese, plain goat cheese works perfectly well. Just add a drizzle of honey to the goat cheese mixture.
These can be assembled ahead of time and baked just before serving. Store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
