This simple hors d’oeuvre has more than withstood the test of time: it gets gobbled up as quickly today as it did decades ago, thanks to the universal appeal of the sweet, salty and smoky flavor combination.

Ingredients

  • 24 pitted dates preferably Medjool
  • 3 3 1/2 ounces gorgonzola cheese cut into 24 pieces
  • 12 slices bacon halved crosswise

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. With the tip of a sharp knife make a small lengthwise slit in each date. Fill each date with 1 piece of cheese. Wrap each date with one piece of bacon. Set wrapped dates on a shallow roasting pan, seam side down.
  3. Bake dates 5 minutes then turn over, seam side up, and bake until bacon has crisped, 5 minutes longer. Drain dates on paper towels before serving.
