Bacon Wrapped Medjool Dates Recipes

BACON WRAPPED DATES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Cut a slit in each date. Place almonds inside slits. Press together the dates to close slits. Wrap each date with a piece of bacon.
• Line a shallow baking pan with Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil. Add a roasting rack; place the dates on rack. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Serve immediately with toothpicks. Dates will be hot inside.

BACON WRAPPED STUFFED MEDJOOL DATES

Steps:

• Cut the dates open along one side and remove the pits.
• Stuff the dates with their filling and wrap each in a slice of bacon.
• Place the bacon wrapped dates into a baking pan with the seam of the bacon down.
• Bake in a preheated 425F/220C oven until the bacon is cooked and slightly crispy, about 12-16 minutes, flipping once in the middle.
• Let cool and enjoy.

BACON WRAPPED & STUFFED MEDJOOL DATES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 9x9 baking dish with tin foil.
• Using a food processor or blender, grind the sausage until in small bits. Transfer to a medium bowl.
• Add the goat cheese to the sausage, toss to blend. Set aside.
• Slice open the Dates, without cutting all the way through, and remove the pit.
• Cut the bacon pieces in half so you have 16 pieces.
• Stuff the Dates with the sausage/cheese mixture, then wrap with a piece of bacon, tightly. Place in prepared pan.
• Once all the Dates are stuffed and wrapped, place in oven until bacon begins to crisp (about 10 minutes). Remove the pan and flip the dates to crisp up the opposite side as well (probably another 10 minutes). Remove from oven when done, let cool, and serve!

BACON-WRAPPED DATES

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.
