Description

Delight your guests with these irresistible stuffed dates, featuring a perfect blend of sweet and savory flavors that will make any gathering unforgettable.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 Medjool dates
  • 10 slices thick-cut turkey bacon
  • 20 almonds (optional stuffing)
  • Toothpicks

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Carefully make a small slit down one side of each Medjool date to create an opening for stuffing. Insert an almond into each date if desired.
  3. Cut each bacon slice in half. Wrap each date snugly with half a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Repeat until all dates are wrapped.
  4. Arrange the wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown.
  5. Allow the dates to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a serving platter. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
