For a vegetarian option, try using a plant-based chorizo alternative. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet when searing the bacon-wrapped dates, as this can lower the temperature of the oil and result in soggy bacon. Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature before frying to achieve a crispy, golden-brown coating. These are best served immediately while the bacon is still crispy and the filling is warm.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Dates: Cut the ends off the chorizo and dice it into 12 small cubes. Carefully stuff each date with a cube of chorizo. Wrap each stuffed date with a piece of bacon and secure it with a toothpick. (Prep time: 20 minutes)
02
StepSear the Bacon-Wrapped Dates: Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Place the bacon-wrapped dates in the pan, seam-side down. Fry until the bacon is golden brown and crispy, then turn and fry on the other side until the bacon is cooked through. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)
03
StepPrepare for Frying: Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
04
StepCoat and Fry: Dredge each bacon-wrapped date in flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, dip it into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off. Immediately place the coated date into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning once to ensure even cooking. (Fry time: approximately 4 minutes total)
05
StepDrain and Serve: Remove the fried dates from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve immediately and enjoy!
