Cheese Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon

I love dates! This recipe for Cheese Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon is topped with finely chopped green onions. Perfect for holiday parties and game day gatherings.

Sweet dates, smokey bacon, creamy cheese, and fresh green onion to top it all off. Yum!

My version of a recipe I recently found in the Costco Connection magazine couldn’t be more simple or delicious.  I used thick cut bacon so I cut each piece in half lengthwise and again width wise. Basically, I got 4 little pieces of bacon from 1 slice. I slightly cooked the bacon before wrapping the dates. If I had used thin cut bacon I may have skipped the pre-cooking.

I bought a 12-ounce package of Medjool Dates but I only used about 1/3 of the package since only my husband and myself were trying them.  I will base my ingredients on what I used but this recipe can easily be double, tripled, etc…

Cheese Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Bacon

4 ounces Medjool dates, pitted
2 Slices Thick Cut Bacon
1 1/2 – 2 ounces Havarti Cheese
1 Green Onions, finely chopped

Take the pits out of the dates if needed and open up slightly so you have room to place the cheese.

Slightly cook the bacon.

Slice cheese into small strips. Stuff cheese into the dates and wrap with bacon. Hold together with a toothpick.

Bake in a 400-degree oven for 6 – 10 minutes until cheese is melted and bacon is cooked.

Cool slightly and serve.
