Ingredients

- 6 slices bacon cut in half
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- Fresh thyme or flaky sea salt for garnish (optional)
Instructions

- Tuck a cube of brie into each date, pressing gently to close it up.
- Wrap each stuffed date with half a slice of bacon and place seam side down on the baking sheet.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly coat each bacon-wrapped date with maple syrup.
- Roast for 18–22 minutes, until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.
- Drizzle with an extra touch of maple syrup and sprinkle with fresh thyme before serving.
