Bacon Manchego Dates
Makes 12 hors d'oeuvres
Sweet, salty and impressive on the plate, these Spanish-inspired stuffed dates are a cinch to prepare. They're most delicious when very hot, so try to get them to your guests as soon after they come out of the oven as possible.
Ingredients
12 dried dates, preferably Medjool
2 ounces Manchego cheese, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
6 slices (thin or medium thickness) bacon, cut in half crosswise
Method
Preheat oven to 475°F. Make a slit in the side of each date and remove the pit. Place a piece of cheese in the cavity of each date and wrap each date with a piece of bacon. Secure each piece with a toothpick if necessary.
Arrange dates on a small foil-lined baking sheet and bake until bacon is crisped and lightly browned, about 12 minutes, turning the dates once halfway through cooking. Serve immediately.
