Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Make a small slit in each date and remove the pit (if not already pitted).

Fill each date with about 1 tsp of goat cheese.

Wrap each stuffed date with a half-slice of prosciutto and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Bake for 10–12 minutes until the prosciutto is crispy.

Optional: Drizzle with honey, sprinkle with thyme and black pepper before serving.

Notes

Tips:

You can swap goat cheese for blue cheese or cream cheese depending on your guests’ preferences.
Make ahead and refrigerate; just bake right before serving.

Pairings:

Serve with a crisp white wine like Sauvignon Blanc or a dry bubbly.
Great with a small greens salad or as a starter before rich mains like filet mignon.
