OH MY GOODNESS!! Was at a party ate one of these without knowing what they really were… DELICIOUS!! And I didn’t even think I liked dates or bleu cheese. :) Super easy appetizer. Enjoy it for the holiday season!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound sliced bacon, cut in half
- 1 pound pitted dates
- 4 ounces bleu cheese
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Slice dates in half, and open them up. Pinch off pieces of blue cheese, and place them into the center of the dates. Close the halves of the dates, and wrap a half-slice of bacon around the outside. Secure each one with a toothpick. Arrange in a baking dish or on a baking sheet with sides to catch any grease.
- Bake for 30 to 40 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the bacon is crisp. Turn dates over after the first 20 minutes for even cooking.
Tips from a Kitchen of Reality:
- Let the dates rest out of oven to cool off before serving. They will be HOT!
- I had to broil them for a few minutes to get the bacon crisp. Just watch them carefully.
