Blue Cheese Stuffed Dates

  • Level: Easy
  • Yield: 12 dates
  • Total: 20 min
  • Active: 10 min
Salty prosciutto, sweet dates and funky blue cheese make the perfect combination in this easy hors d'oeuvre recipe. Serve them with a glass of sparkling wine, and you're in for a real treat. I like to bake them so that the prosciutto gets crispy, but they're also great unbaked.

Ingredients

12 Medjool dates, pitted

1/4 cup creamy blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola

Twelve 1-inch pieces prosciutto, cut in half lengthwise

Serving suggestions: salt and vinegar potato chips, rosemary Marcona almonds, Castelvetrano olives

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use a paring knife to cut a small lengthwise slit in each date. Stuff each date with a heaping 1/2 teaspoon blue cheese. Wrap each date in 2 pieces prosciutto, then place seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake until the prosciutto is crispy, 8 to 10 minutes.
  3. Serve with salt and vinegar potato chips, rosemary Marcona almonds and Castelvetrano olives.

These were delicious. I used blue cheese in half and honey goat in half. My dates were big, so I cut them in half after baking. They came together very fast. Great fast and easy elegant app.
