Prosciutto Wrapped Dates
Prosciutto wrapped dates combine sweet dates, creamy goat cheese and crispy prosciutto for an easy appetizer everyone loves. They're perfect for holidays, parties and entertaining.
Ingredients
- 1 pound dates
- 5 ounces goat cheese
- 4 ounces prosciutto
- balsamic glaze drizzle optional
- hot honey (or regular honey) optional
- chopped pistachios optional
Instructions
- If baking, preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
- Using a small knife, slice each date lengthwise through one side, leaving the other side intact. Remove the pit and stem end.
- Fill each date with about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese, being careful not to overfill them.
- Cut each slice of prosciutto lengthwise into halves or thirds. (Thirds work best for small to medium dates.) Starting on the underside, wrap each stuffed date with a strip of prosciutto, overlapping slightly as you go. Press the end of the prosciutto gently against the date to secure it. Tip: A pizza cutter or kitchen shears makes cutting the prosciutto quick and easy.
- Place the wrapped dates in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet or in the air fryer basket with the cut side facing up.
- For the air fryer, cook at 375°F for 6 to 7 minutes or until the prosciutto is crispy. For the oven, bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the prosciutto is crispy. Let the dates cool for about 5 minutes before topping or serving.
- Serve as is or finish with a drizzle of balsamic glaze. Or, for a sweet and spicy version, drizzle with hot honey and sprinkle with chopped pistachios. Enjoy!
