Prosciutto-Wrapped Dates

This appetizer turned out to be a big hit at a recent housewarming. It involves a few very simple steps performed for each date, so it may take awhile to prepare. However, the final result is a warm, meaty treat that is both sweet (date) and salty (prosciutto). Prosciutto di parma is ideal, but it probably doesn't matter since it will be baked. This recipe is provided by guest contributor Abe.

Ingredients
  • Pitted dates, ideally medjools
  • Goat cheese
  • Prosciutto
Instructions
  1. Cut each date in half and stuff with a little bit of goat cheese.
  2. Wrap each date in a slice of prosciutto.
  3. Broil on low for 3-5 minutes. Cheese should be bubbly and meat should have a light crisp to it. You can bake at 350-400 degrees if you already have a preheated oven.
Eat them. Serves a lot.
