Dates Wrapped in Bacon
My husband was whining about how he ate this dish at a restaurant and how it tasted fabulous , so I wanted to try recreating it. He said that the dish was $7 with 4 dates each, but it was much more inexpensive when I made them myself. I love making cafe dishes at home.
Fold up the edges of the aluminum foil as if making a shallow box. This is because the bacon gives out a lot of excess oil.
I usually bake them for 15 minutes in a oven without any preheating. Take them out before you end up overcooking the bacon. You don't want it to harden.

- 1
Please use dried dates that you can get in the dried fruits section of your grocery store.
- 2
Make cuts in the middle and remove the seeds.
- 3
Chop up the blue cheese into adequate sizes to pack inside the dates.
- 4
The left ones in this photo are already packed with cheese. You don't need to close them up completely.
- 5
Wrap up each of the dates with half a slice of bacon. Secure each wrap with a toothpick.
- 6
This is how it appears from the side. Make sure to leave a decent gap in-between the dates so that the bacon will be cooked properly.
- 7
Place the secured dates on a double-layered aluminum foil. Bake for 15 minutes in a 180℃ oven.
- 8
The cheese inside the dates are melting, and they smell really good.
- 9
Remove the toothpicks and dish them up.
