Stuffed Dates Wrapped with Prosciutto
I love stuffed dates. They are a perfect snack or appetizer for family, friends, and celebrations. When making this recipe, it is hard not to eat them all. They are so good! The cheese filling is perfectly seasoned. Adding the prosciutto adds a crunch and salty element.
Equipment
- Knives
Ingredients
- 4 Large Medjool dates
- 2 Slices Prosciutto , the thinly sliced kind
- 2 Tbsp Goat cheese , crumbled, and softened
- 1 Tbsp Cream cheese, softened
- 1/16 tsp Granulated garlic
- 1/16 tsp Granulated onion
- 1/32 tsp Black pepper
- 1/64 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400℉.
- Prepare a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Partly slice dates in half and remove pits. Don’t cut the date all the way through.
- In a 1-cup liquid measuring cup, mix the goat cheese, cream cheese, garlic, onion, pepper, and salt until well combined.
- With a spoon, fill the four dates evenly, but don’t overfill. You need the date to close after being filled.
- Cut each slice of prosciutto in half lengthwise. Wrap each date with one-half slice of prosciutto.
- Place each date on the prepared pan, spaced apart. Bake for 7-8 minutes.
- Flip dates and cook an additional 7-8 minutes.
- Allow the dates to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
Make sure the cheeses are soft, or mixing will be more difficult.
