Preheat oven to at least 375 degrees.

Push a small piece of cheese into each date.

Wrap date with 1/2 slice bacon (sometimes 1/3 slice is enough). Place on rimmed baking sheet.

Bake, turning once, until bacon is crispy. It will take at least 30 minutes at 375 degrees. Sometimes I go hotter or even use the broiler. Just watch them closely.
