Ingredients
Steps
- 1
Slit each date open and remove the pit. Stuff with a small amount of goat cheese or blue cheese.
- 2
Wrap each stuffed date with half a bacon slice. Secure with a toothpick.
- 3
Air fry at 375°F for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway, until bacon is crispy all around.
- 4
Drizzle with honey and sprinkle with flaky salt and fresh thyme.
- 5
Serve warm. Remove toothpicks before eating.
Tip: Goat cheese gives a tangy contrast; blue cheese gives a bold, funky flavor — both are incredible. Use thin-cut bacon so it crisps up before the dates burn. The honey drizzle at the end takes these from great to transcendent. These disappear at parties.
