Prosciutto Wrapped Dates With Goat Cheese
Prosciutto Wrapped Dates have the perfect balance of sweet, salty, and creamy with a satisfying crunch. Medjool dates, naturally rich and caramel-like, are stuffed with tangy goat cheese and a crunchy almond for contrast. Wrapped in thin, savory prosciutto, they crisp up beautifully when baked. The combination of textures—soft, creamy, crunchy, and crisp—makes every bite interesting, while the mix of sweet and salty flavors keeps you coming back for more.

Notes
Use large, fresh Medjool dates for the best results. They’re naturally soft, sweet, and easier to stuff than smaller varieties.
Goat cheese is creamy and rich, so a small amount goes a long way. Overstuffing can make it ooze out while baking.
You can assemble them a day in advance and store them in the fridge. Bake when ready to serve.
To reheat, place them in a 350°F oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through.
