Salty prosciutto, sweet dates and funky blue cheese make the perfect combination in this easy hors d’oeuvre recipe. Serve them with a glass of sparkling wine, and you’re in for a real treat. I like to bake them so that the prosciutto gets crispy, but they’re also great unbaked.

Reviews
These were delicious. I used blue cheese in half and honey goat in half. My dates were big, so I cut them in half after baking. They came together very fast. Great fast and easy elegant app.
I made these today for a gathering of friends. They were an absolute hit. I will be making them again. I added a honey balsamic glaze but they would have been perfect without the glaze.
This is so simple and so incredibly delicious!! I have made them 4 times since this episode aired!!
These were great, Katie! I subbed Roquefort cheese, and after they were wrapped and roasted in the oven, I drizzled each with HOT honey and toasted chopped pecans- WOW! Everyone LOVED these!:) delicious
