Ingredients

  • 12 Medjool dates
  • 4 oz blue cheese
  • 6 slices prosciutto
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: chopped walnuts or pecans
  • Optional: honey drizzle
  • Optional: fresh thyme
  • Optional: balsamic glaze
  • Optional: crushed pistachios

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit.
  3. Stuff each date with a small amount of blue cheese.
  4. Cut the prosciutto slices into strips if needed.
  5. Wrap each stuffed date with prosciutto and secure with a toothpick if necessary.
  6. Arrange the wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Lightly brush or drizzle the dates with olive oil.
  8. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the cheese is warm.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
  10. Add optional toppings such as honey drizzle, fresh thyme, or balsamic glaze before serving.

Notes

  • Medjool dates are ideal because of their soft texture and natural sweetness.
  • Goat cheese can be substituted for blue cheese for a milder flavor.
  • Bacon may be used instead of prosciutto but may require longer baking time.
  • Add chopped nuts inside the dates for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer for the crispiest texture.
  • These appetizers are best served warm shortly after baking.
