18 pitted Medjool dates (it's cheaper to buy with pits and pit yourself
18 salted and roasted whole almonds (roast 5 min in 350 oven)
9 slices of bacon
goat cheese or cream cheese to stuff dates
wooden toothpicks
Instructions
Heat oven to 400.
Microwave bacon on high for 1 1/2 minutes. Squeeze out excess bacon fat. Cut in half.
Pit dates and stuff cheese (I usually use goat cheese) wrapped almond inside each
date. (Note - skip the almond if desired.)
Wrap piece of bacon around date and secure with wooden
pick.
Arrange dates, bacon seam down, 1 inch apart on shallow baking dish or cookie sheet.
Bake 10 minutes. Remove from oven and drain on paper towel. Serve hot.
Noted that one guest thought the almond was the date pit... It's just as good without the
almond inside.
