Photo: Bacon Wrapped Dates Stuffed with Manchego Recipe
Ingredients
- 15 Medjool pitted dates
- 1 pound aged Manchego, cut into 15 blocks
- 5 slices bacon, cut into thirds
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Make an incision on one side of each date and insert a block of Manchego. Squeeze the date shut in your hand to secure. Wrap each date with a bacon strip and secure with a toothpick. Place all the dates on a sheet tray lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Roast the dates in the oven until the bacon on top is starting to crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Turn the dates over and cook the other side until the bacon crisps.
Remove the dates from the oven and brush both sides with maple syrup. Return the dates to the oven until they are really crackly and sticky, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot.

I've had them with out the cheese at a restaurant as "Devils on Horseback"... I was hoping to make them for a party a couple of weekends ago and was thrilled when I found this recipe. Everyone loved them. A week later, I made them for a BBQ and once again got rave reviews from everyone. Thanks!!

These are a HUGE hit whenever I make them. I use regular dates and they work fine. You can make ahead and refrigerate: just let come to room temperature before baking. People LOVE these and they are such an easy do-ahead finger food for any event. If you are looking for a new appetizer to wow your friends with, this is it. Thanks Anne.
