Stuff each date with about 2 teaspoons of your cheese mixture. Pinch the dates to close.

Place all the dates onto your prepared sheet as shown and bake for 15-20 minutes or until bacon is browned and crispy; Turning the dates halfway through to ensure even browning.

Serve your bacon wrapped dates warm or at room temperature, garnished with chopped chives and freshly ground black pepper.
