Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise to create a small opening. Remove the pit carefully without breaking the date in half.
Stuff each pitted date with around 1 teaspoon of blue cheese. Adjust the quantity based on the size of the date, ensuring it is generously filled but not overstuffed.
Cut each bacon slice in half to create 12 shorter pieces of bacon.
Wrap each stuffed date with a piece of bacon, securing it with a toothpick that goes through the bacon and the date.
Place the bacon-wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet with the seam of the bacon facing down.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bacon is crispy and golden brown. Flip the dates halfway through cooking to ensure even crispiness.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the blue cheese date wraps cool for 2-3 minutes before transferring them to a serving plate.
Serve warm and enjoy!
