Ingredients

16 Medjool dates, pitted
8 slices thin-cut bacon, cut in half crosswise
16 toothpicks

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Stuff each date with a small piece of cheese (optional) or leave as is.
Wrap each date with a half slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick.
Place seam-side down on prepared baking sheet, spacing apart.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, until bacon is crispy and browned.
Let cool for 2 minutes before serving. Serve warm.

Tips

For extra flavor, stuff dates with a sliver of Parmesan or goat cheese before wrapping.
To make ahead, assemble and refrigerate up to 24 hours before baking.
Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 5 minutes.
