How to Prepare Cheese Stuffed Dates
🔥 Preheat oven to 375°F. 🔪 Cut a slit down the middle of each date without going all the way through due to the pit. Open the date, and discard the pit. 🧀 Fill each date with your choice of creamy cheese and if you’d like, chopped nuts. 🥓 Cut thin bacon into pieces and then wrap each date with a piece of bacon. 🍯 Brush the bacon wrapped dates with hot honey or maple syrup and place dates seam side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. ♨️ Bake at 375°F for 15-20 minutes until golden, then flip and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes until caramelized. ⭐ These bacon wrapped dates are best served the same day, but if needed, you can prep the night before and bake the next day.
