Ingredients
- 12 Medjool dates, pitted
- 4 oz brie cheese, cut into small pieces
- 6 slices bacon, cut in half
- Prepare the dates: Carefully remove the pits from the dates by slicing lengthwise without cutting through completely to create a pocket for the filling.
- Stuff the dates: Insert a piece of brie cheese inside each pitted date, filling the cavity generously.
- Wrap with bacon: Wrap each stuffed date with a half slice of bacon, securing it with a toothpick if needed to hold the bacon in place.
- Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Air fry the dates: Place the wrapped dates in the air fryer basket in a single layer without overcrowding. Cook for 8-10 minutes, turning halfway through, until the bacon is crispy and the brie is melted.
- Serve warm: Carefully remove the dates from the air fryer and allow to cool slightly before serving as a warm, bite-sized appetizer.
Notes
- Ensure dates are pitted before stuffing to avoid any hard pits.
- Use toothpicks to secure bacon if needed during cooking.
- You can substitute prosciutto for bacon for a different flavor.
- Serve immediately for best texture and flavor.
- To prevent cheese leakage, do not overfill the dates.
