Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 400°. Line a baking sheet with parchment and fit with a wire rack; set aside.

  2. Step 2

    Halve dates lengthwise being careful not to cut all the way through. Place a small amount of cheese in the center of each date. Wrap a piece of bacon around each date making sure the ends meet underneath the date.

  3. Step 3

    Place dates, seam side down, on prepared baking sheet. Bake until bacon fat is beginning to render out, about 15 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix together maple syrup, red pepper flakes, rosemary, and black pepper. Brush each date with maple syrup mixture.

  5. Step 5

    Continue to bake brushed dates until bacon is crispy, 15 to 20 minutes more.
