Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 100 grams Blue cheese
- 6 slices Bacon
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Step 2
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise to create a small opening. Remove the pit carefully without breaking the date in half.
Step 3
Stuff each pitted date with around 1 teaspoon of blue cheese. Adjust the quantity based on the size of the date, ensuring it is generously filled but not overstuffed.
Step 4
Cut each bacon slice in half to create 12 shorter pieces of bacon.
Step 5
Wrap each stuffed date with a piece of bacon, securing it with a toothpick that goes through the bacon and the date.
Step 6
Place the bacon-wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet with the seam of the bacon facing down.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Flip the dates halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the blue cheese date wraps cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a serving plate.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy!
