Bacon wrapped goat cheese stuffed dates on the smoker

[Breaktheory]

Anyone have a solid recipe? I want to get the nice smoke flavor before the cheese melts out (if that’s possible)

thanks!

Hrm... I'd use an ABT recipe as a template for how to proceed.

Exact same issue, right? Replace Jalapeno with date, cream cheese with goat cheese, bacon with bacon. Probably also cheddar with goat, but it might be interesting to replace it with manchego for a textural and flavor contrast.

Great! I’ll post back with my results

thx!

Eagerly awaiting. I'm down for that more than ABTs.

So these were not photo worthy unfortunately - I think my mistake was bacon that was too thick...I hit the 45 minute mark and the bacon wasn’t close to done so I opened up the vents and let the flames roar to cook the bacon - it ended up scorching the dates - I really didn’t get much of a smoke flavor out of it either - I think next time I’ll stick to the oven or try really thin bacon

Thanks for the update.
