Stuffed Dates with Gorgonzola and Crispy Bacon

One of many great recipes from Polina Chesnakova's cookbook Hot Cheese - dates stuffed with cheese and wrapped in bacon.

Ingredients
24 medjool dates
120 g ripe gorgonzola cheese
24 slices streaky bacon, thin sliced
  • Line a baking tray with paper.
  • Using a paring knife, slit the dates lengthwise and carefully remove the pit without splitting the dates.
  • Fill each date with a little Gorgonzola and wrap with bacon.
  • Place seam side down on the baking tray.
  • Grill in the upper third of the oven for four to five minutes, until the bacon is crispy and the cheese starts to bubble and ooze.
  • The dates are extremely hot so let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
