BACON-WRAPPED DATES



Bacon-Wrapped Dates image

A bacon-wrapped date is sweet, smoky, squidgy and crisp, all in one bite-size package. The trick is getting the bacon to cook before the date burns, and you can do that by starting in a cold oven so that the bacon slowly renders its fat and evenly crisps. While this appetizer was en vogue in the 1970s and 1980s, it has never gone out of style. In fact, it dates back to Victorian England, when bacon-wrapped oysters or prunes (also known as angels or devils on horseback) were eaten before or after a meal. ("Horseback" referred to their being served on toast.) Sometimes the prunes were soaked in tea or liqueur, and stuffed with chutney, cheese, or nuts. You can do the same if you like.

Categories     finger foods, appetizer

Time 30m

Yield 16 dates

Number Of Ingredients 3

8 slices bacon
16 medium Medjool dates, pitted
Black pepper (optional)

Steps:

  • Using scissors, cut each slice of bacon in half crosswise at a diagonal, like cutting ribbon. (This will help secure the bacon to the date.) Starting at the straight end of the bacon, roll the bacon around the dates. Tuck the point under the wrapped bacon to secure. Place seam side down on a baking sheet.
  • Place in the oven, and heat the oven to 400 degrees. Cook for 10 minutes, then flip and cook until golden brown all over, another 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the thickness of your bacon.
  • Season with black pepper (if desired), then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to crisp and cool slightly.

Bacon Date Bread: A Sweet and Savory Treat

Tips:

  • For the perfect balance of flavors, use high-quality bacon and dates. Thick-cut bacon adds a satisfying crunch, while plump, moist dates provide natural sweetness.
  • To ensure even baking, make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This helps the batter to blend smoothly and prevents lumps.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense bread. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the bread in a preheated oven. This helps the bread to rise evenly and prevents it from sinking in the center.
  • To test if the bread is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bread is ready. If not, continue baking for a few more minutes.
  • Let the bread cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps to prevent the bread from breaking.
  • Serve the bread warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own or with a spread of butter, cream cheese, or honey.

Conclusion:

Bacon Date Bread is a delightful combination of sweet and savory flavors. It's easy to make and perfect for any occasion. Whether you're serving it for breakfast, brunch, or dessert, this bread is sure to be a hit. With its crispy bacon, chewy dates, and moist bread, it's a treat that everyone will enjoy.
