Ingredients

• 1 pound pitted dates
• 4 ounces blue cheese
• 1 pound sliced bacon, cut in half

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Bake in the preheated oven until bacon is crisp, 30 to 40 minutes. Turn dates over after the first 20 minutes for even cooking.

Step 3

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.
