Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Gorgonzola (or Feta)

A satisfying and savory appetizer!

Yield: About 25 appetizers

Preparation Time: 10 min; Total Time: 30 min

Ingredients

1 package (16 ounces) fresh whole dates (preferably Medjool dates, but any date will work)

4-6 ounces gorgonzola cheese or feta cheese

1 package (16 ounces) bacon, cut in half horizontally (making twice as many strips of bacon)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F

Line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Slice each date lengthwise so they open flat; remove the pit.

Stuff each date with one teaspoon of cheese and close.

Wrap bacon strips around each stuffed date so bacon overlaps; secure with toothpicks and place on the baking sheet.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the bacon is cooked and the cheese is lightly browned. Remove and serve warm.
