4 madjool dates
4 marcona almonds, toasted
4 teaspoons of Valdeon or Cabrales blue cheese
2 slices of bacon, each cut in half

Cut each date along one side, removing the pit and replacing it with a toasted marcona almond. Place a teaspoon of the cheese inside the date and close it. Wrap each date with half a slice of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. Skewer with toothpick and bake in a 400 degree F oven until golden brown.
