The date is the sweet, the blue cheese is savory and the bacon is the salt - but the date is what brings this all together.
Ingredients
- Pitted dates
- Wedge of blue cheese, cut into chunks about 1/2 inch but rectangular so they fit into the date
- Ready Bacon
- Bamboo Skewers
Directions
- Preheat oven to 450
- Snip open one side of the date with small kitchen shears
- Stuff a cube of the cheese into a date and wrap the edges around it to cover the cheese
- Wrap each date fairly snugly with a piece of ready bacon (trimming off the end if needed)
- Skewer the bacon wrapped date, putting about 4 on each skewer
- Place on a baking sheet and put in the oven for 15 to 20 minutes (until the bacon is brown and crispy and the cheese is melting)
