Parmesan with Dates

By dyannucci

We wanted to create several easy antipasti recipes—interesting but not too filling. Using Italian-inspired ingredients for our appetizer recipes gave us a variety of dishes that can be used alone or together as appetizers, cocktail snacks, or to make a light meal with salad and pasta

Ingredients

• Serves 8
• Ingredients
• 16 whole dates (such as medjool)
• 4 ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano, room temperature

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
1. Slit each of the dates lengthwise and remove pits. With a small cheese knife, cut or break the Parmigiano into thin pieces roughly the same length as the dates. Place a piece of cheese in each date, close the date around the cheese, and serve.
