3-Ingredient Prosciutto Wrapped Dates

Preheat the oven to 400°F (204°C). Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.

Slice the blue cheese into 24 thin, 1-inch chunks. Then, slice each piece of prosciutto length-wise into 3-4 long strips. You should have 24 strips of prosciutto in total.

If your dates are not pitted, you will need to pit them before making this recipe. Working one date at a time, slice each date through the middle lengthwise being sure not to cut all the way through. Gently pull the sides apart until you see the pit. Then, use your fingers or the tip of the knife to remove the pit. Repeat with the remaining dates.

Stuff each date with a piece of blue cheese. Make sure the blue cheese is packed in snuggly so it doesn't melt out. I like to gently press the sides of the dates to help the blue cheese 'stick'.

Then, roll each date in a slice of prosciutto. Tuck the ends of the prosciutto under the bottom of the date, or use a toothpick to secure the prosciutto if needed.

Place the dates on the prepared sheet pan, leaving a bit of space between each so the prosciutto crisps up. Bake the dates for 10-12 minutes, until the cheese is warmed through and the prosciutto is slightly crispy. It will crisp up more as it cools.

Transfer the dates to a platter. Serve them as-is or drizzle with dates with honey or balsamic glaze, if desired. Enjoy warm!
