Warm tasty appetizer to enjoy with a glass of wine. Pitted Medjool dates stuffed with gorgonzola with honey drizzled over the dates, wrapped with bacon slices and broiled.
Ingredients
- 1 10-oz package of pitted dates (I prefer Medjool dates)
- ½ lb bacon slices cut into halves
- 4 oz. tub of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- Honey
Directions
- Slit the pitted dates and insert crumbled Gorgonzola cheese.
- Dribble about ¾ teaspoon of honey on each date.
- Microwave bacon slices for about 2 minutes to partially cook them without browning.
- Wrap each stuffed date with a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Put the wrapped dates on a broiler pan on top of a foil-lined pan (to catch the extra grease)
- Broil on low for 3 minutes until lightly browned and then turn over and broil for another 3-4 minutes on the opposite side.
- Place the cooked bacon-embraced dates on a paper towel to drain.
- Serve warm. These are easy, delicious appetizers served with wine. (I prefer a Pinot Noir).
