Easy Devils On Horseback With Blue Cheese Recipes

BLUE CHEESE BACON DEVILS ON HORSEBACK

Steps:

• Soak the dates in the sherry for 2 hours, making sure they're fully submerged.
• Meanwhile, place the blue cheese in a small zip-top bag, then snip one corner off the bag, leaving about a 1/2-inch opening. Leave at room temperature until ready to fill the dates.
• Heat a toaster oven to 450 degrees F and place a rack in a quarter sheet pan or use the pan that came with your toaster oven, if applicable (see Cook's Note).
• Drain but do not rinse the dates. Use a pair of scissors to open each date lengthwise.
• Pipe roughly 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese into each date, then wrap with a piece of bacon. Place the wrapped dates on the rack, bacon ends down, and gently press to anchor.
• Bake until the bacon is brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
