This classic appetiser features creamy blue cheese, tangy goat’s cheese, and a hint of smoky paprika. Prosciutto adds a salty and savoury note against the sweetness of the dates. Perfect little morsels for entertaining or a special occasion, and of course, alongside a glass of Sangiovese gin!
INGREDIENTS
• 12-24 large Medjool dates
• 100g blue cheese, crumbled
• 100g goat’s cheese, softened
• 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
• 6 slices prosciutto
METHOD
Preheat the oven to 190°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each date lengthwise on one side and remove the pit.
In a mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, goat’s cheese, and smoked paprika. Mix until well combined.
Fill each date with a small spoonful of the cheese mixture. Wrap each stuffed date with half a slice of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick if needed.
Place the prosciutto-wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the prosciutto is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
