3-Ingredient Devils on Horseback

Method

1. 1

   Adjust oven racks to upper-middle and lower-middle positions, and preheat oven to 400°F (205 °C). Line 3 rimmed baking sheets with aluminum foil. Arrange bacon halves in a single layer on 2 prepared baking sheets. Bake both sheets at same time until edges begin to curl and fat begins to render, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. Let cool on baking sheet until cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes.

2. 2

   While bacon cooks, use a paring knife to cut a slit lengthwise in each date to create an opening, taking care not to cut all the way through.

3. 3

   Stuff each date with about 3/4 teaspoon blue cheese; press lightly to pack in, then pinch to close.

4. 4

   Wrap 1 cooled bacon half around each stuffed date. Secure with toothpick, if needed, and arrange seam-side down on the remaining prepared baking sheet.

5. 5

   Bake on lower-middle rack until bacon is browned and crisp, 12 to 14 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through. Let stand 5 minutes before serving.
