Dates Wrapped in Bacon

cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp

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.
Caution: These are high in calories . Recipe by Mooming65

Ingredients

10Dried dates
10half-rashers Bacon (half slices)
Blue cheese

Cooking Instructions

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.

I used thin pork belly slices instead of bacon to lower the salt content.

I have always loved macaroni and cheese but why not spice it up? Bacon can always be found in Mac and Cheese whereas Pickles are not. I decided to add pickles and bacon for a yummy new and improved mac and cheese. Once you try it you will be hooked. Skylar-14 years

I tried making these without cooking the asparagus first, but it took longer to cook, and the bacon tended to burn. I tried boiling the asparagus first, but then I found that microwaving was faster, and so I came up with this recipe.Pre-cooking the asparagus and carrots in the microwave reduces the amount of frying time, so the bacon doesn't burn as easily and looks appetizing. For 4 servings. Recipe by Kawakamisan

I saw a picture of scallops wrapped in bacon on a frozen food package at the supermarket, so I copied it.The butter is only used to bring out the bacon fat, so you only need a little. Even with a small amount, it still has a buttery flavour. For 8. Recipe by Yukirinrin
