Ingredients

• 12 slices Bacon
• 12 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 12 pieces Pitted dates
• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 24 pieces Toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.

Step 2

Cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise, so you have 24 shorter pieces.

Step 3

For the cherry tomato variation: Wrap one half-slice of bacon around each cherry tomato and secure with a toothpick.

Step 4

For the stuffed date variation: Slice each date along one side and fill the cavity with a small amount of cream cheese (about 1 teaspoon). Wrap a half-slice of bacon around the stuffed date and secure with a toothpick.

Step 5

Arrange all the bacon-wrapped items on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out to allow for even cooking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, turning halfway through to ensure even browning. Bacon should be crispy and golden when done.

Step 7

Remove the appetizers from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Transfer the appetizers to a serving platter and enjoy while warm!
