Bacon Wrapped Dates
Ingredients
Fresh dates with the pit removed
Whole raw or roasted unsalted almonds
Thin cut bacon
Toothpicks
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Remove the pit from the dates. Use a knife to pierce the dates and wiggle the pit out.
3. Stuff the date with an almond.
4. Cut the strips of bacon in half.
5. Wrap each date with bacon and secure it with a toothpick.
6. Bake until the bacon is cooked, about 20 minutes. I turn the dates a few times to crisp the bacon all around.
Notes
Bacon Wrapped Dates retain the heat well, so let them cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Serve these as an apéritif for entertaining or a first course for a family dinner.
