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!
