My little sister served a mission in Spain and introduced us to several Spanish tapas (appetizers) at a new favorite restaurant in Las Vegas named Firefly. This is a knockoff of just one of their amazing dishes!
1 package of dates
1 package bacon
blue cheese
almonds
toothpicks
Make a slit in the date. Stuff the inside with blue cheese and almonds (I use almond slivers). Wrap the entire date with either 1/2 or 1/3 of a strip of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Put on a baking sheet and bake in a 375 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes. Turn the dates over at 20 minutes to cook evenly.
*You can also stuff with a whole almond and leave the blue cheese sprinkled over the entire dish, which is then picked up with the tooothpick and eaten all together. I prefer the cheese on the inside.
* This can also be served with a red wine reduction drizzled over the serving dish.
