Bacon wrapped blue cheese stuffed dates

Bacon wrapped blue cheese stuffed dates

 
For wine night I made some yummy appetizers. I first had these in Las Vegas at a Tapas restaurant called Firefly. This is my take on them.

Things needed:

-1 package of bacon
-1 pound of dates
-6 oz blue cheese

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees - Slice dates in half & remove the pits - Stuff with blue cheese - Put the halved date on top & wrap with bacon - Secure each one with a toothpick - Place on baking rack with lined cookie sheet to catch the grease - Bake for 30 to 40 minutes (till bacon is crisp) - Turn dates over after 15-20 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sadly I didn't get a final product picture, they were all eaten before I remembered to get one.

Make lots of these because they go FAST!
