Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates w/Prosciutto
I made these Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates for the first time this past Thanksgiving and truly had to stop myself from eating the entire batch. They are now officially a holiday tradition for me.
Servings: 20 servings
Ingredients
- 2 8 oz packages soft goat cheese
- 1/3 cup freshly chopped basil
- 1 lb pitted dates (about 25 dates)
- 3 packs thinly sliced prosciutto (about 1/2 lb)
Instructions
- Preheat over to 400 degrees F.
- Partly slice dates in half and remove pits. Be sure to not cut the dates all the way through. This makes it easier to stuff with goat cheese.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and evenly seperate the dates on the sheet.
- With a spoon, fill the dates with the goat cheese mixture. Be careful not to overfill. You want to be able to put the edges of the date closed when done.
- Wrap each date in one slice of prosciutto.
- Bake for 8 minutes then flip eat date and bake for another 8 minutes.
- Allow dates to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.
