Baaaaacccoooooon. Oh my! This is one of my new favorite recipes for late night eating. I know that it isn't the healthiest choice around midnight, but between the saltiness of the bacon, the crunch of the almonds and the sweet, gooey dates. Oh my! They are good! Chef Angela recently led an appetizers class at the kitchen, which included these bad boys and I have been dreaming about them ever since. We always have medjool dates & almonds on hand. So when we are lucky enough to grab bacon from Larga Vista Farm... It. Is. On.
Ingredients:
2 Medjool dates (per serving) left whole and pits removed
1-2 almonds per date
1 lb bacon, each slice cut into 3-4 pieces (depending on size of date)
Toothpicks
Instructions:
Stuff one almond in date.
Cut each slice of bacon into 3 or four pieces.
Stretch bacon and wrap each date with a piece of bacon.
Insert toothpick through bacon and date.
Line sheet pan with parchment and place wrapped dated on sheet.
Bake bacon wrapped date for 15-20 minutes until slightly browned at 450 degrees, turning once.
Serve warm.
