Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 22 min
Total time: 32 min
Ingredients: 1 block herb and garlic goat cheese (113 g); 20 medjool dates (pitted); 10 strips turkey bacon (cut in half lengthwise); 1 tbsp tamari; 1 tsp avocado oil; splash hot sauce; 2 tsp maple syrup; 3 ½ oz smoked turkey breasts; 8 turkey bacon wrapped dates; 5 oz herb and garlic goat cheese; 9 oz sharp cheddar cheese; ½ cup green olives (pitted); 15 crackers (hazelnut and cranberry); ¼ cup almonds; 1/4 cup dried cranberries (juice sweetened); ¼ cup pomegranate arils; 6 sprigs fresh rosemary (for garnish)

Preheat your oven to 400℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the goat cheese into a small bowl and microwave in 10 second intervals, until it is very soft. Use a spoon to mix the goat cheese until completely smooth.

Take a pitted date and spoon about ½ tsp of the goat cheese in the centre and place on the cookie sheet. Continue filling each date, until all of the goat cheese has been used up.

Wrap each date with a piece of turkey bacon and secure by piercing a toothpick through the top, and place back onto the cookie sheet.

Whisk all of the glaze ingredients in a small bowl. Brush the top of each date with the glaze mixture and place in the oven for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, remove the dates from the oven and brush a second coat of the glaze onto each date. Place the pan back into the oven for 12-15 minutes longer, or until the turkey bacon is crispy.

Remove the pan from the oven and allow the dates to cool for at least five minutes before serving.
