Bacon-Wrapped Dates

Ingredients
  

  • 20 Medjool dates pitted
  • 10 slices of bacon not thick-cut, halved
  • 1/2 cup cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup blue cheese
  • Toothpicks

Method
 

  1. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden.
  2. Mix cream cheese and blue cheese in a small bowl to create a creamy filling.
  3. Place dates on the prepared baking sheet, seam side down, so they bake evenly.
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
  6. Use a small spoon to fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of cheese mixture.
  7. Wrap half a slice of bacon around each stuffed date, securing with a toothpick.
