Here is the second quick and easy appetizer. I don't remember where I got this recipe since there is only 3 ingredients to memorize. I must have seen on Food Network. There is not much to say about it, it is easy as 1 2 3. Important : do not omit the bacon since it actually burns the dates and it doesn't taste good without bacon.
Makes 16
Preparation Time : 10 mins
Baking Time : 10 mins
Ingredients
16 small sticks Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
16 large dates
8 slices bacon
Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 450F.
2. Cut one side of the date and take the pit out. Stuff a stick of cheese into each date and seal it.
4. Bake 5 mins, then turn dates over, bake until crisp, about 5 more mins. Drain in a paper towel and serve.
I made a similar appetizer for New Years. Instead of cheese, I used almonds to stuff the dates.
