Time 2h40m

Yield 20 dates

Number Of Ingredients 4

20 pitted Deglet Noor dates
1 cup dry sherry
2 ounces blue cheese
7 slices bacon (not thick-cut), cut into 3-inch lengths

Steps:

  • Soak the dates in the sherry for 2 hours, making sure they're fully submerged.
  • Meanwhile, place the blue cheese in a small zip-top bag, then snip one corner off the bag, leaving about a 1/2-inch opening. Leave at room temperature until ready to fill the dates.
  • Heat a toaster oven to 450 degrees F and place a rack in a quarter sheet pan or use the pan that came with your toaster oven, if applicable (see Cook's Note).
  • Drain but do not rinse the dates. Use a pair of scissors to open each date lengthwise.
  • Pipe roughly 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese into each date, then wrap with a piece of bacon. Place the wrapped dates on the rack, bacon ends down, and gently press to anchor.
  • Bake until the bacon is brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I've made these with different types of bacon, and I think applewood smoked bacon is the best.

The blue cheese gives these devils on horseback a nice tang that really balances out the sweetness of the dates.
