Manchego-Stuffed Dates Wrapped In Bacon (Tapas) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

24 pitted dates
1/3 lb manchego cheese
12 pieces bacon, cut in half

Preparation

Preheat broiler (high setting).
Cut your cheese into small rectangles just large enough to fill the cavity of your pitted date.
Stuff 1 piece of cheese into each date.
Wrap each date with a piece of bacon.
Place on baking sheet, seam side down, and broil for 4 minutes. Turn dates over and broil another 4 minutes.
Serve hot.
NOTE: you can put a toothpick in each AFTER cooking for the convenience of your guests (but they won't look as pretty).
