Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- If your dates are not pitted, carefully make a slit on one side of each date and remove the pit.
- Open the slit slightly to create space for the filling.
- Take a small pinch of grated Parmesan cheese and stuff it into the cavity of each date. Be careful not to overfill, but make sure each date is generously stuffed.
- Cut the bacon strips into thirds, so you end up with 18 smaller strips.
- Wrap one small bacon strip around each stuffed date. Secure the bacon in place by pressing it tightly; if needed, you can use a toothpick to hold it together.
- Place the bacon-wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, seam side down.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve these delicious bacon-wrapped Parmesan-stuffed dates warm. Enjoy them as an appetizer or part of a party platter!
Tips:
- Ensure the bacon strips are not too thick, so they cook evenly and crisp up nicely.
- You can secure the bacon around the dates with toothpicks to hold everything in place while baking.
- Experiment with different cheeses like blue cheese or goat cheese for an interesting twist.
- Serve these dates warm for the best flavor and texture.
- Consider adding a drizzle of honey or balsamic glaze before serving for an extra layer of flavor.
