Bacon-Wrapped Blue Cheese Dates

Ingredients
  • Dates – I had admittedly never purchased dates before I made this recipe. But I bought a big container at Costco around Christmas time, I wonder if they still have them? Otherwise bulk might be your next best option.
  • Good bacon – Good bacon probably means something different to everyone. I like the thick, center-cut style bacon. It definitely makes a difference in the taste, so go for the gusto on this ingredient.
  • Crumbled blue cheese (or Gorgonzola)
  • Plus you’ll need toothpicks and a baking sheet
Instructions
  1. Slice the date open a little (don’t cut it in half).
  2. Stuff date with blue cheese, as much as you like.
  3. Close date and wrap with ½ length slice of bacon.
  4. Secure with toothpick.
  5. Arrange on baking sheet (make sure it has a rounded edge as the grease from the bacon might run off otherwise).
  6. Bake at 375 degrees F until crisp, about 30-40 minutes. You can turn them over about half way through if you want to.
  7. After they are done baking, put them on some sheets of paper towel – that helps soak up some of the bacon grease.
  8. Serve hot, enjoy!
