RECIPE DATES WRAPPED WITH BACON.

Ingredients

20 or 24 dates (450 grams)
100 grams of the cheese of your choice (I recommend blue cheese and goat cheese)
340 to 450 grams of bacon
20 to 24 almonds (optional)
You need

baking sheets
Parchment or nonstick baking liner
kitchen knife
soup spoon
chopsticks
paper towels
PREPARATION
Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (205 degrees Celsius). Prepare the parchment paper and set it aside.
Cut the dates. Use the kitchen knife and carefully open the date with your thumbs. Remove the seeds if they are still inside.
Fill the date with cheese. Use the spoon to fill each date with the cheese. if you like, add the almonds and close the date.
Wrap the dates in bacon. Cut the bacon in half and wrap the dates, remembering to secure with a toothpick.
Arrange the dates on the baking sheet. Separate them and arrange each date on its side (you will flip it halfway through the baking process).
Bake for 15 minutes. After you flip the dates, bake for another 15-20 minutes.
After the 15-20 minutes, check the dates and finish baking when the bacon is the consistency you prefer.
Transfer the dates to another baking sheet. This works in case they have a lot of fat.
Serve the entrees while they are still hot or at room temperature.
