Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Oven
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients
  

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
  • 6 ounces prosciutto, thinly sliced into 12 pieces

Instructions
 

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Open each date and fill the center with about a teaspoon of blue cheese.
  • Wrap one slice of prosciutto around each stuffed date, then place the wrapped dates seam side down on the baking sheet.
  • Bake for 10 to 12 minutes until the prosciutto firms and turns lightly golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let the dates rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve these warm or at room temperature on a platter with toothpicks for easy pickup. If you want to make them ahead, assemble everything up to the baking step and keep them covered in the fridge for up to a day, then bake right before guests arrive. Use a creamy blue cheese that holds together when stuffed rather than a very dry one.
