Devil Doves

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Lay the deboned dove breast skin side down and place two date halves in the center.

2. Lay a teaspoon of goat cheese on top, then a sprig of thyme.

3. Lay a strip of bacon down, gather the dove breast together and place at one end of the bacon. Roll the bacon around the dove breast until it is fully covered. Set on a sheet tray with the bacon seam side down.

4. Repeat until you have all of the doves stuffed and wrapped and lined up on a sheet tray. Place in the oven and cook for 35-45 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and rendered. Serve immediately!
