Bacon-Wrapped Blue Cheese-Stuffed Dates
(Serves 6 as an appetizer)
Ingredients
24 Medjool dates, pitted
12 slices bacon, cut in half
1/3-1/2 cup blue cheese, crumbled
toothpicks
Directions
Preheat oven to 400º F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Take pitted date and insert blue cheese crumble into the center. (Should be about the size of a pebble.) Repeat with the rest of dates.
Wrap each date in a half piece of bacon. Secure bacon with a toothpick inserted through the middle.
Place bacon-wrapped dates on the baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes, flipping over halfway so bacon is crispy on both sides.
Serve immediately.
