Bacon Wrapped Dates
Ingredients
- 16 pitted dates
- 16 toasted almonds or 80 g blue cheese (optional)
- 8 slices of bacon
- 2 tablespoons Borges extra virgin olive oil
Step by step
-
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200 ºC. For an extra touch of flavor, stuff the dates with a toasted almond or a little blue cheese.
-
Step 2
Cut the bacon slices in half and wrap one piece around each date. Secure the bacon with a toothpick so it doesn’t come loose.
-
Step 3
Set the dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with a little extra virgin olive oil for added crispiness.
-
Step 4
Bake 12–15 minutes, turning them over halfway through, until the bacon is golden brown and crispy. Remove the dates from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
