Bacon wrapped dates

I realized that I really enjoy appetizers and other finger foods because they are so easy to assemble! Bacon wrapped dates is a very easy appetizer to put together. It's definitely something you can substitute other ingredients for like using different cheese or different kind of bacon.

First I split open the dates, then stuffed it with cheese. Using cheese that had a strong flavor I realized works best like sharp cheddar, goat cheese or blue cheese. The sweetness of the date balances out the overwhelming flavor of the cheese. I split a long slice of bacon in half and wrapped one half around the date. I held it together with a toothpick.

After assembling them on the pan. I broiled the dates for 5-7 min on each side.

Enjoy!
