Bacon Wrapped Pimento Cheese Stuffed Dates with a Sorghum Glaze

Equipment

  • Toothpicks
  • Baking sheet
  • Cooking spray
  • Aluminum foil

Ingredients

  • 12 Medjool Dates
  • 1 lb Mousetrap Pimento Cheese
  • 6 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup Sorghum

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • Remove pits from the dates (You can do this by slightly cutting a slit into one side of the dates and carefully removing the pit. You don't really want to cut your date into two halves).
  • Stuff each date with a heaping spoonful of pimento cheese.
  • Wrap each date with a 1/2 slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
  • Place on a cooking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Be sure to spray the aluminum foil with cooking spray, so they don't stick.
  • Drizzle lightly with sorghum.
  • Cook for approximately 14-18 minutes or until the bacon is done (flip them half way). Be sure to keep an eye on them just in case. Depending on the type of bacon that you use, it could affect the cooking time.
