Bacon-wrapped dates are a simple and delicious appetizer typically made with just two main ingredients: dates and bacon.To make them, you take pitted dates, usually Medjool dates because of their sweetness and size, and stuff them with a small piece of cheese, such as goat cheese or blue cheese, to add a savory contrast to the sweetness of the dates. Then, each stuffed date is wrapped with a strip of bacon and secured with a toothpick.Once assembled, the bacon-wrapped dates are baked in the oven until the bacon is crispy and the dates are caramelized. The result is a flavorful combination of sweet, salty, and savory flavors with a contrasting mix of textures – the chewiness of the dates, the crispiness of the bacon, and the creaminess of the cheese. They are often served warm as a delicious appetizer or finger food for parties and gatherings.
