Time 20m

Yield 24 dates

Number Of Ingredients 5

24 whole dates
4 ounces Manchego cheese, cut into 24 pieces
24 whole salted almonds
24 slices bacon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Prepare an outdoor grill for medium indirect heat.
  • Slice into the dates lengthwise, just deep enough so that you can pull out the pits with your fingers. Discard the pits. Fill each date with a piece of cheese and an almond. Wrap a slice of bacon around each date, trim all but an inch of overlap and secure with a toothpick. Season with salt and black pepper.
  • Grill, on the indirect side, flipping occasionally, until the bacon is cooked through and crispy, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a platter. Serve warm or at room temperature.
