Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the dates
  • 12 Medjool dates large
  • 3 oz Gorgonzola crumbled
  • 4 oz prosciutto thinly sliced, cut into 12 strips wide enough to wrap each date
For the honey drizzle
  • 2 tbsp honey

Equipment

  • 1 rimmed baking sheet

Method
 

Prepare and bake the dates
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Slit each date lengthwise and remove the pit, keeping the date intact.
  4. Fill each date with about 1 tablespoon Gorgonzola.
  5. Wrap each date with a prosciutto strip and place it seam-side down on the baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 12–16 minutes, until the prosciutto is crisp at the edges and the cheese is softened.
  7. Let the dates rest on the baking sheet for 5 minutes.
Finish with honey
  1. Drizzle the honey over the warm dates and serve.

Notes

For the neatest filling, keep each date intact while removing the pit. Refrigerate leftovers for up to 3 days; freezing is not recommended.
