Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 4 ounces gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 6 slices bacon, cut in half crosswise
  • 2 tablespoons hot honey

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Open each pitted date and fill the center with about a teaspoon of crumbled gorgonzola.
  • Wrap one half slice of bacon around each stuffed date and place it seam side down on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the bacon is browned and crisp.
  • Remove the dates from the oven and arrange them on a serving plate.
  • Drizzle the hot honey evenly over the warm dates just before serving.

Notes

Serve these right after baking while the bacon stays crisp and the cheese is still soft. If you need to prep ahead, stuff and wrap the dates up to four hours in advance and keep them covered in the fridge before baking. Use a mild gorgonzola if you prefer less sharpness, or add an extra drizzle of hot honey at the table for more heat.
