Bacon Wrapped Dates With Parmesan Recipe 455

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Using a small paring knife, cut a small slit across the length of each date. Cut the cheese into approximately 1/2-inch-by-1/4-inch rectangles (the cheese will not cut into perfect shapes, but that's OK). Insert a piece of Parmigiano into each date. Lay the strips of bacon out on a work space, next to each other. One by one, place each date at the end of a strip of bacon, and then carefully roll the date along the bacon strip, wrapping it tightly. Place the bacon-wrapped dates on a roasting rack set in a baking sheet, and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside. Arrange the dates in a bowl with the parsley leaves. Remember to warn your guests that the dates are hot!

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.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Stuff 1 piece of cheese into each date, then wrap 1 piece of bacon around each date, securing it with a pick. Arrange dates 1 inch apart in a shallow baking pan.
• Bake 5 minutes, then turn dates over with tongs and bake until bacon is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes more. Drain on a paper bag or parchment. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut each piece of Parmesan cheese into 12 chunks, making 24 total. Carefully put a chunk of cheese into each date. Wrap each date in a bacon slice and place on a lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for until bacon is crispy and browned, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Stuff each date with 1 to 2 almonds. Wrap each date with half a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Bake, turning the dates halfway through so the bacon is evenly cooked, 15 to 18 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice the dates lengthwise three-quarters of the way down. In a small bowl, press the cream into the blue cheese with a fork. Press a small scoop of the blue cheese into the center of the dates and close them back up. Cut each piece of bacon in half. Wrap each halved bacon strip around a date. Secure with a toothpick.
• Place the bacon-wrapped dates on a baking sheet. Bake until the bacon is crisp, 15 to 20 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until it has rendered some fat and begins to turn transulcent; don't let it brown at all. Remove from the pan and drain thoroughly on paper towels.
• 2. Make a slit in each date and stuff with a small piece of cheese. Wrap the date in a piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick, if needed. Place the wrapped dates in a baking dish. (At this point you can cover and refrigerate for up to 36 hours or freeze for 1 month, defrost before proceeding)
• 3. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake the dates until the bacon is crisp. (10-12 minutes)
• 4. Remove from oven, drain the dates on paper towels, and set on platter for serving. Thin shreds of any Parmesan would make an awesome garnish!

Steps:

• Heat broiler with rack 4 inches from heat. Stuff dates with almonds. Cut bacon into thirds crosswise. Wrap each date with a bacon strip. Place seam side down on a slotted broiler pan.
• Broil until crispy on one side, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn; cook until bacon is crispy throughout, 3 to 5 minutes more. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
