N. started wrapping dates in bacon years ago, most likely inspired by a dish in a tapas restaurant. Now, bacon wrapped dates are a staple of N&J cooking, so it's hard to believe they haven't made it into this blog yet. They are present at most parties we host and are often made as a festive appetizer to casual home meals.
Here are the basic of how it's done.
Ingredients:
- 3X wooden toothpicks
- 1X bacon strips
- 3X dates, pitted
Fabrication Steps:
1. Soak toothpicks in water.
2. Preheat oven to 410F.
3. Cut bacon strips in even thirds.
4. Wrap dates in bacon, securing with wet toothpick, arranging in a single layer on an ungreased baking dish.
5. Bake for 25 min.
No matter how often we make them, there are never any leftover bacon wrapped dates to tuppie.
