Recipes with similar ingredients: dates, blue cheese, prosciutto

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:

Preheat oven to 200°C.
Using a small knife, cut each date lengthwise and unwrap it just enough to remove the pit, leaving the flesh intact. Fill the cavity of each date with a small piece of blue cheese and seal it inside.

Cut a strip of prosciutto the same width as the length of each date and wrap it twice, almost completely covering the date.
Place the dates on a baking sheet and bake for about 8 minutes, until the prosciutto is golden brown and the cheese is melted. Let cool slightly and serve warm.

Note

Look for dried Medjool dates in the produce section of your supermarket; they'll be the freshest.
