DifficultyBeginner
Yields8 Servings
Total Time30 mins
 10 oz goat cheese, at room temperature
 6 oz cream cheese, at room temperature
 2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
 salt and pepper
 6 oz thick-cut bacon, cut in 1/2-inch thick
 10 Medjool dates, pitted and cut into quarters lengthwise, or roughly chopped
 Honey, red-pepper flakes, black pepper, flaky salt, toasted sliced almonds or chopped pistachios, for garnish (optional)
 crusty bread or grainy crackers, for serving
1

Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, stir together the goat cheese, cream cheese, lemon juice and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Transfer to a 1-quart baking dish or ovenproof skillet, and spread into an even layer. Bake until warmed through and bubbling, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until golden and crisp, about 10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate, then add the dates to the bacon fat in the skillet, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the insides are warm and the outsides blister, about 1 minute.

Top the baked cheese with the dates and bacon, and garnish as you wish. Serve at once.
