Bacon-wrapped Dates With Parmesan
Serves 24
INGREDIENTS
- 24 deglet noor dates, pitted
- ¼ lb Parmigiano-Reggiano
- 24 3-inch strips of very thinly sliced bacon
- 5 leaves flat-leaf parsley
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat the oven to 400° F.
- Using a small paring knife, cut a small slit across the length of each date.
- Cut the cheese into approximately ½-by-¼-inch rectangles (the cheese will not cut into perfect shapes, but that’s OK).
- Insert a piece of Parmigiano into each date.
- Lay the strips of bacon out on a work space, next to each other. One by one, place each date at the end of a strip of bacon, and then carefully roll the date along the bacon strip, wrapping it tightly.
- Place the bacon-wrapped dates on a roasting rack set in a baking sheet, and roast for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
- Arrange the dates in a bowl with the parsley leaves. Remember, the dates will be hot!
