Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 1 pound bacon (cut slices in half)
  • 1 pound pitted dates
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, I prefer to use a mild blue or even or gorgonzola
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Dates ... Slice the dates in half (not all the way through), just enough to open them up. Add a pinch of the blue cheese in the center of the date and close the date back up.

  • Step 2: Bacon ... Wrap one 1/2 slice of bacon around each date and secure with a toothpick. Add the dates to a shallow baking dish. I prefer to line the dish with parchment paper for easy clean up. You can also use a baking sheet, but you want it to have sides so you will not run is the risk of having any grease from the baking dripping off the pan.

  • Step 3: Bake ... Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Add the dates on the middle shelf and bake 30-40 minutes until brown and crisp. Turn the dates over after 20 minutes.

  • Step 4: Serve ... Right out of the oven, or they are even fine at room temp for a little bit, but definitely best warm. ENJOY!!
