Ingredients
- 18 pitted dates (she suggests Medjool, but I think a lesser pitted date is better for this )
- 18 pieces Parmesan cheese, each about 3/4 inch xy 1/4 inch
- 6 slices cured bacon, each cut into thirds (she suggests apple cured, but I have used others)
- stemmed parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450F
- Pit dates if not already done (i buy the pitted ones)
- Insert a piece of parmesan into each slit.
- Wrap a piece of bacon arond each stuffed date and secure with a toothpick
- Place dates on a baking sheet.
- Bake for about 5 minutes or until the bacon on top is crisp.
- Using tongs, turn the dates and bake for another 5 minutes. - bacon should be crisp on this side too.
- Transfer dates to a double layer of paper towels to drain.
- Transfer to a serving platter, optionally garnish with parsley leaves and serve.
Notes
- These can be made 1 day ahead but unbaked.
- Cover and refrigerate but bring to room temperature before baking.
- Pecorino or Sonoma Jack can be substituted
