2018-11-26 19:52:47

Serves 6

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
