Ingredients:
- 4 slices Metropolitan Market bacon
- 8 dates
- 2 oz blue cheese (optional)

- If using cheese, cut a slit in each date, and put in about 1 tsp of blue cheese. Close the date. Wrap one piece of bacon around each date. Secure each with a skewer.
- Place on a foil or parchment-lined baking sheet. Return to oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until bacon is browned. Serve warm.
