Stuffed Dates





These are the Shea Center appetizer dates that I have made numerous times and are ALWAYS a huge hit. TRY THESE!!!! You can pit and halve the dates the day before but they need to be assembled the day of. Luckily you can do them early in the day and all you need to do is broil them right before the party starts. These are best eaten piping hot but they're still delicious at room temp.

Ingredients (needed for each one)

1 half of a medjool date, pited
1/2 tsp goat cheese-easier at room temp
1 small basil leaf
1 strip of proscuitto

Directions:

1. fill empty date with goat cheese.

2. Wrap with basil and then wrap with proscuitto

3. Skewer date so everything stays on

4. At last minute, place dates under broiler for 2 minutes or until proscuitto is a little crispy and browned.

  1. you had me at goat cheese. these look and sound amazing. and then when i saw that you wrapped them in proscuitto, i just about fainted. i have no critiques other than the fact that i want to eat about a million of them.
