This weekend I made this as a appetizer and it was fantastic. Very quick and easy to make, the mix of the sweet flavor from the dates goes wonderfully with the Prosciutto and is balanced out well by the basil. Very recommended. Here's how:
What you'll need
16 pitted Medjool dates
16 large basil leaves
1/3 cup soft herbed goat cheese (I would use smoked next time)
4 wide, thin slices prosciutto, each cut into 4 long strips
16 toothpicks, soaked in water a few minutes
What you'll need to do
Heat broiler to low. Stuff each date with cheese then wrap with a basil leaf and a prosciutto strip. Secure with a toothpick. Broil until cheese bubbles, about 3 minutes. Serve warm.
What they'll do to you
The great thing is each wrapped date is about 80 calories so not that bad for you at all. Enjoy!
