Ingredients
Oops! Something went wrong. Our team is working on it.
1 pound pitted dates
4 ounces blue cheese
1 pound sliced bacon, cut in half
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Slice dates in half and open them up. Pinch off pieces of blue cheese and place them into the center of dates. Press date halves together to close. Wrap each date with a half-slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Arrange in a baking dish or on a baking sheet with sides to catch any grease.
Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, 30 to 40 minutes. Turn dates over after the first 20 minutes for even cooking.
Cook’s Note
You can serve the cooked dates at room temperature, so making them an hour in advance is okay.
