Directions

1. Split the dates in half lengthwise and open each. Add 1t of blue cheese to the middle of each date and close the date around the cheese.
2. Lay a piece of bacon out on a flat surface and place the date at one end of the bacon. Roll up the date, wrapping the bacon around the date. Periodically, slightly stretch the bacon to ensure a tight wrap. Repeat for each date.
3. Press Preset and use the left arrow to select Preset 55. Press START/PAUSE to begin preheating to 400°F. Once preheated, the Brio will beep twice, display “Ready”, countdown for 10 seconds and then beep once to give you time to place your food into the Brio. Place the wrapped dates onto the Air Circulation Riser, seam-side down, and start cooking at 400°F for 10 minutes.
4. After 5 minutes, the Brio will emit 3 sets of triple beeps, open the Brio Base Tray and flip the wrapped dates.
5. When cooking is done the Brio will beep 3 times and display ”End”. Remove the Base Tray. The bacon should be brown and crispy, and the cheese should be melting and slightly oozing from each date.
6. Plate the dates with Hoisin sauce or the sauce of your choice. Garnish with chives and enjoy.
