Categories     Cheese     Appetizer     Cocktail Party

Yield 15 bites

Number Of Ingredients 4

15 Medjool pitted dates
1 pound aged Manchego, cut into 15 blocks
5 slices bacon, cut into thirds
1/2 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Make an incision on one side of each date and insert a block of Manchego. Squeeze the date shut in your hand to secure. Wrap each date with a bacon strip and secure with a toothpick. Place all the dates on a sheet tray lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Roast the dates in the oven until the bacon on top is starting to crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the dates over and cook the other side until the bacon crisps. Remove the dates from the oven and brush both sides with maple syrup. Return the dates to the oven until they are really crackly and sticky, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.

I was a little hesitant to try these dates because I'm not a big fan of Manchego cheese. But I'm so glad I did because they were delicious! The cheese was actually really mild and it paired perfectly with the bacon and dates.

These bacon-wrapped dates were a hit at my last party! The combination of sweet and salty was perfect, and the Manchego cheese added a nice creamy texture. I'll definitely be making these again.
