Ingredients
- 16 Medjool dates pitted
- 4 Slices Bacon thick-cut
- 4 Slices Havarti Cheese
- 1 tablespoon Green Onions finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400° Fahrenheit.
- Split the dates and remove the pits.
- Cut the bacon in half, then half again. Or, use more bacon and use a half of slice per date.
- Cut each slice of Havarti Cheese into 4 strips.
- Open up a date and stuff with a slice of cheese. Wrap the bacon around the date and secure with a toothpick.
- Place the dates on a baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, flip over, and continue baking for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the dates from the oven when they have reached the desired color and crispness.
- Sprinkle the dates with the chopped green onions. Serve when they have cooled slightly.
Notes
I like thick cut bacon. I cut in half, then I cut the halves in half. If you prefer more bacon, Use a half a slice of bacon per date.
Other mild cheeses you can use in place of the Havarti Cheese Monterey Jack, Gouda, or a mild cheddar. I bet cream cheese would also be excellent to stuff these dates with.
Mom Tip: Buy the dates that have already had the pits removed. It makes like a little bit easier.
