Tonight I am making bacon wrapped dates for the first time. I have had two variations - dates wrapped in bacon (baked) and dates stuffed with cream cheese, wrapped in bacon (deep fried). Tonight, I would like to make an assortment of options for a small gathering and see which ones we all prefer. I won’t be deep frying any of them because I’ll have limited time and would rather just pop them in the oven – maybe another time. I have a few questions, though. Below are the variations that I will be preparing and the questions I have. Help??
Variations
-
Stuffed with cream cheese
-
Stuffed with feta cheese
-

-

-

Questions
-
What temp/time should I bake these? I’ve seen different recipes differ quite a bit and I’m conflicted.
-
I’m planning on making the glaze with olive oil, vinegar, brown sugar, and Sriracha. Is this a decent mixture, or do any of you have other suggestions?
-
When during the cooking process should I apply the glaze?
-
Is there anything I am missing or do any of you have tips or suggestions?
I realize that these are just bacon wrapped dates, but these things are like crack to me and I’m really excited to make them! Thanks in advance for your help, Redditors!
bon appetit
