Bacon Wrapped Dates 

Serves 15-20

25 large Medjool dates, pitted

25 cubes of Manchego, Goat Cheese, or personal preference 

15 slices of bacon (about 7 ounces), halved crosswise

Preheat the oven to 400°. Cut a lengthwise slit in the dates. Stuff about 1/2 teaspoon of the Manchego cheese. Pinch the dates closed. Wrap each date securely in a piece of bacon and arrange the dates, seam side down, on a wire rack set on a baking sheet.

Bake the stuffed dates for about 20 minutes, or until the bacon is browned and crisp; turn each date after 10 minutes. Serve the stuffed dates warm or at room temperature.
