Easy Appetizer Recipes: This Bacon-Wrapped Dates With Fontina Recipe is Legit by Erica Kane

Bacon-wrapped dates are always a crowd-pleaser. Stuff them with cheese and they're an even bigger hit!

You'll need:

• 20 pitted, dried dates (Medjool preferred)
• 5 slices Applewood smoked bacon
• smoked paprika
• fontina cheese

Here’s how you make them:

1. Slice the bacon in half and then slice those in half again lengthwise (so each piece of bacon is cut into four equal pieces).
2. Sprinkle bacon with smoked paprika.
3. Pitted dates are already sliced so fill each one with a piece of fontina cheese.
4. Wrap each date with the cut piece of bacon (smoked paprika side facing date) and secure with a toothpick. Arrange on a medium baking sheet.
5. Bake at 425 degrees F for about 15 minutes. Keep your eye on the bacon. Once it's fully cooked, remove from the oven. Arrange dates on a platter and serve!
