Bacon Date Blue Bites

Crunchy bacon bits browned in olive oil meet chopped Medjool dates swapped for dried apricots, mingling with toasted pecans instead of walnuts. Small pastry shells hold the smoky-sweet blend crowned with tangy feta replacing blue cheese. Quick bake melts the cheese just right, followed by a fresh sprinkle of thyme leaves, not parsley, for herbal lift. Serve warm with a citrusy amaretto cocktail or dry sherry on ice. Timing flexible. Golden bacon aroma, chewy fruit contrast, crunchy nuts, melty cheese textures combine impressively in a bite-sized workhorse appetizer.
