Notes

Cook’s NoteLook for dried Medjool dates in the produce section of your grocery store; they will be the freshest.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

Step 2

With a small paring knife, slit each date lengthwise and spread open just enough to remove the pit while leaving the date intact. Fill the cavity of each date with a small piece of blue cheese and fold the date over the cheese, pressing it back into its original shape.

Step 3

Cut a strip of prosciutto as wide as each date is long and wrap it around twice, enclosing the date almost completely. Place the dates on a sheet pan and bake for about 8 minutes, until the prosciutto is browned and the cheese starts to melt.

Step 4

Cool slightly and serve warm.
