• Serves 10, 2 halves per serving
• 12 whole Medjool dates

Servings 10

Preparation

Step 1

Remove the pits from the dates.

In a small bowl mix the goat cheese with the rosemary, salt & pepper. Fill each date half with ¼ tsp of the goat cheese mixture.

Wrap 1 piece of prosciutto around each date and put in a covered dish in the fridge.

To serve at room temperature, remove from fridge about 1 hour before serving.

To serve warm, place dates in an oven proof dish and bake at 350 for 20 minutes just to warm. Serve.

Use extra fresh rosemary to garnish the plate if desired.
