An easy recipe for bacon-wrapped dates stuffed with Fontina cheese. Only THREE ingredients and it can be assembled ahead of time! This is a perfect appetizer for any party or holiday!
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slit the dates open lengthwise, keeping the bottom in tact. Place a sliver of cheese inside each date. Wrap half a piece of bacon around each stuffed date.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the dates halfway through baking, until the cheese bubbling and the bacon is browned and cooked thoroughly. Serve immediately.
Notes
Note #1: You can use any type of date, but if you use large Medjool dates, be sure to stuff it with enough cheese to fill it up. If not, the cheese can kind of get lost in there!Note #2: I do not recommend using thick-crust bacon for this recipe.Nutritional values are based on one appetizer
