Ingredients
-
½ (10 oz.) pkg. V&V SUPREMO® Brand Queso Fresco Cheese, cold
-
½ (8.8 oz.) pkg. Chihuahua® Brand Quesadilla Cheese from V&V SUPREMO®, room temperature
-
12 medium pitted dates, sliced in half
-
4 slices bacon, cut into thirds
5 Steps to complete
-
1Preheat oven to 425°F. Slice Queso Fresco and Chihuahua® Cheese into 12 chunks that are ¼-inch thick and 2-inches long or slightly larger than the dates.
-
2Preheat a nonstick griddle or comal for 2 minutes over medium heat. Sear Queso Fresco Cheese for 30 seconds to 1 minute on each side or until golden.
-
3Sandwich seared Queso Fresco Cheese chunks in between 2 date halves, wrap each with 1 piece of bacon, and use a toothpick to secure bacon in place. Transfer bacon wrapped dates to sheet tray lined with parchment paper. For best results, wrap and refrigerate or place in freezer for 15 minutes; or up to a day in advance.
-
4Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, remove from oven, and flip dates for even cooking. Bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Remove from oven and allow dates to cool for several minutes. Preheat broiler to 550°F or high heat.
-
5Top each date with 1 slice of Chihuahua® Cheese, return to oven, and broil for 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Transfer Cheesy Bacon Wrapped Dates to serving plate or platter and enjoy!
