Me and my daughter took a cooking class at our community college called Mediterranean inspired small plates...this is one of the recipes we made and we really liked them...putting it here for safe keeping as I want to make again...Hope you enjoy... The recipe calls for Medjool dates, which are less sugary and more tender...

Yield 20 appetizers, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

20 fresh dates
6 ounces goat cheese
20 large basil leaves
6 ounces prosciutto, sliced to fit around date
20 toothpicks, soaked in water

Steps:

  • Soak toothpicks in water while preparing the dates. Use a sharp paring knife to slit each date lengthwise, and pop out the pit. Snip basil leaves from stems - use sharp scissors to avoid bruising the leaves. For larger leaves, slice in half lengthwise.
  • Cut prosciutto into strips about 1 inch wide by 4 inches long. For packaged prosciutto this generally means cutting each strip into quarters.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • With a small spoon, butter knife, or offset spatula, stuff about 1 teaspoons goat cheese into each date.
  • Wrap a basil leaf around each date.
  • Wrap prosciutto over the basil, securing with a toothpick.
  • Place in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
  • Broil for about 2-3 minutes, use tongs to turn dates over, and broil another 2-3 minutes until prosciutto is golden and sizzling.
  • Transfer to serving dishes.
  • Garnish with fresh basil.
  • Delicious hot from the over or at room temperature.

CHEESE STUFFED DATES WITH PROSCIUTTO



Cheese Stuffed Dates With Prosciutto image

From the 20 Minute Recipe Club ... submitted by by Giada Di Laurentiis from Giada at Home. "The sweetest, best kind of dates are Medjools. They're large, so they are easy to fill, meaty, and chewy. Stuffed with goat cheese and wrapped in prosciutto, they provide a perfect sweet-salty mouthful in every bite. Serve these with a crisp white wine as the ideal before-dinner tidbit." Haven't tried, but they sound tasty and easy.
