Stuffed Dates with Bacon Crumble
These delicious stuffed date bites play with both sweet and salty flavors, and are incredibly easy to assemble. Spoon some macadamia nut or almond “cheese” into dried dates and top with crispy bacon – ready in minutes! If you would prefer not to use bacon, chopped nuts could also top the dates.
Ingredients
15 pitted Medjool dates
1/4 cup macadamia nut cheese
2 slices bacon
Instructions
1. Add the bacon to a skillet and cook until crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble.
