👨‍🍳 Instrucțiuni

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 150°C (300°F).

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Ensure oven is fully preheated before placing the plums inside.
2. 2

   Prepare the filling: In a small bowl, combine the soft goat cheese and finely chopped walnuts. Mix well until thoroughly combined.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: For easier stuffing, ensure the cheese is at room temperature.
3. 3

   Stuff each dried plum with a generous portion of the cheese and walnut mixture. Gently press to fill the cavity.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: If the plums are too dry, you can briefly steam them to make them more pliable, but avoid soaking them as they can become too sticky.
4. 4

   Wrap each stuffed plum with half a slice of bacon. Secure the bacon in place with a toothpick, ensuring it pierces through the bacon and plum.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Use good quality, thinly sliced bacon for even cooking and crispiness.
5. 5

   Arrange the stuffed plums on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Make sure they are not overcrowded.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: A baking tray with a rim is recommended to catch any bacon drippings.
6. 6

   Bake for 15 minutes at 150°C (300°F). Then, increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F) and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: Keep an eye on the plums during the final baking stage to prevent the bacon from burning.
7. 7

   Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Remove toothpicks before eating.

   💡 Sfaturi Profesioniste: These can be served warm or at room temperature. They can also be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
