Ingredients

12 Medjool Dates pitted
3-4 oz Goat Cheese
6 slices Prosciutto

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees f. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each date lengthwise, without cutting all the way through, and remove the pit.
12 Medjool Dates
Fill the cavity of each date with about a teaspoon of goat cheese, then use your fingers to push the date back together.
3-4 oz Goat Cheese
Use a sharp paring knife to cut the prosciutto in half lengthwise, so each piece becomes two long strips. Wrap a small slice of prosciutto around each date and place seam side down on your prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all 12 dates.
6 slices Prosciutto
Place your sheet pan in the oven and bake for 8-10 minutes or until the prosciutto is slightly crispy.

Notes

Expert Tips And Notes

Use Good Quality Dates: Use organic medjool dates. They are plump, super soft and have a caramel-like taste to them. Be sure to check the inside of your dates once you remove the pit. If the inside appears black, throw it out as it is likely mold.
Don't Overstuff: You want to add just enough goat cheese to fill the dates without overstuffing them. If they are too full, the cheese may ooze out when baking.
Serve Warm: The best way to serve these dates is at room temperature or slightly warm.
Make Ahead: When making this easy appetizer for a dinner party or holiday, I always assemble them in advance, then make them the day of.
