Appetizers and Snacks
I'm fairly sure the first recipe is what you're looking for, but if not, perhaps the rest will help you devise a similar one.

MAKE BELIEVE RUMAKI

20 large dates, pitted
10 water chestnuts, sliced in half (optional)
5 slices Cheddar cheese, each cut into 4 pieces
5 slices bacon, each cut into 4 pieces
1/2 cup teriyaki sauce
Sliced tomatoes and cucumbers (optional)

Slice dates but do not cut all the way through. Insert into each date, 1 slice each water chestnut, if used, and cheese. Wrap each date with a piece of bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Dip dates into teriyaki sauce. Place on lightly oiled baked sheet.

Bake at 450 degrees F or under broiler for 10 to 15 minutes or until bacon is crisp. Serve immediately with sliced tomatoes and cucumbers, if desired.

TERIYAKI GLAZED DATE RUMAKI

1 can whole water chestnuts
1 box dates, pitted or not
1 lb thinly sliced bacon
1 cup teriyaki sauce

Drain water chestnuts and slice in half, place in a small bowl, add teriyaki sauce, toss to cover. Set aside.

Preheat oven to broil.

Slice open dates (do not cut in half). Cut bacon strips in thirds. Place a chestnut half in each date and wrap with bacon. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat until all dates are stuffed and wrapped. Brush all with teriyaki sauce. Place on broiler pan.

Broil in oven for 3 to 5 minutes or until bacon is cooked, turning as necessary. Serve immediately.

BACON-WRAPPED DATES STUFFED WITH CHEESE AND WATER CHESTNUTS

10 Medjool dates, pitted
10 1-inch pieces of blue cheese, asiago, manchego, pecorino, or goat cheese.
5 whole water chestnuts, cut in half
5 (8-inch) strips of bacon, cut in half

Open the sides of the dates and fill each with a half slice of water chestnut and a piece of cheese. Wrap each date in a 4-inch piece of bacon and secure with a toothpick. Place on a shallow pan.

Place into oven (high roast, 600 degrees F) for 5 minutes then turn the dates over and cook for 5 more minutes or until the bacon is done. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
