Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Prosciutto
View my experience with this recipe.
Ingredients:
- 8 dates, pitted
- 1 ounce Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 thin slice prosciutto
Directions:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut prosciutto into 8 narrow strips. Break cheese into 8 small chunks. Slice the top of each date open, careful not to slice all the way through. Fill each date with a small piece of cheese and then wrap the prosciutto around the date. Place on a baking sheet, cut side up.
Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, or until prosciutto is crisp.
Serves 2.

This was my own concocted recipe based on an appetizer I had at a Meditteranean restaurant. I have seen other recipes that use different cheeses and bacon instead of prosciutto.
