Ingredients

• 6  pieces thin-sliced bacon
• 18  pitted Medjool dates

Preparation

1. Cut bacon slices crosswise into about 4-inch lengths. Wrap a piece snugly around each date, overlapping ends.

2. Set dates, seam sides down, in a 10- to 12-inch nonstick frying pan over medium heat (you may have to fry dates in batches). Turn dates occasionally until bacon is browned and crisp on all sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer dates to paper towels to drain; blot dry. Serve warm or cool.

You can find Medjool dates at many gourmet grocery stores and warehouse clubs. This is a quick recipe to put together – cook and prep – maybe 25 minutes. You can make this recipe ahead and let them cool. Cover tightly and store at room temp.
