Servings: 32
Calories: 76kcal
Ingredients
- 11 strips of thinly sliced bacon, cut into thirds
- 32 dates, pitted and cut open down the center
- 8 ounces blue cheese
- honey, for drizzling
- Large toothpicks, soaked in water for 15 minutes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Stuff the center of each date with a small piece of blue cheese and then wrap it in a bacon strip. Edges should overlap slightly, but not make two full rounds. If the bacon is too thick it will not cook evenly.
- Place two bacon wrapped dates on each toothpick and place on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- Bake for 10 minutes, turn and bake for an additional 12 minutes, or until bacon is browned. Allow to rest for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving platter and drizzling with flaky salt and honey.
Notes
- If you start to see some cheese ooze out, don't worry, there will be plenty still inside!
