Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dates

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Carefully make a small slit in each pitted date and stuff each one with blue cheese.

  2. 2

    Wrap the Dates

    Wrap each stuffed date with a slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick if necessary.

  3. 3

    Candied Bacon Topping

    In a small bowl, mix together brown sugar, Szechuan sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and water. Brush the mixture over the bacon-wrapped dates.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Place the wrapped dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and caramelized.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Drizzle

    While the dates are baking, prepare the sweet and sour drizzle by mixing Szechuan sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame seeds in a small bowl.

  6. 6

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove the dates from the oven, let them cool slightly, then drizzle the sweet and sour mixture over them and garnish with chopped green onion before serving.
