Bacon

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Prepare the two fillings. In a small bowl, mash the softened goat cheese with a spoon. In a separate small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and peach preserves, mixing until smooth.

Carefully stuff half of the pitted dates with the goat cheese mixture and the other half with the cream cheese mixture.

Wrap each stuffed date with a half-slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick.

Arrange the bacon-wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet.

In a small bowl, prepare the glaze by whisking together the honey, chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and pepper. Add a teaspoon of water to thin the glaze if desired.

Brush about half of the honey glaze over the tops of the bacon-wrapped dates.

Bake for 15 minutes.

Remove the baking sheet from the oven, carefully flip each date over, and brush with the remaining glaze.

Return to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy.

Let cool slightly before transferring to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs if desired.
