Ingredients
>
21 small to medium pitted dates
>
1 (8 oz) bag Land O Lakes ® Gouda & Havarti Cheese Cubes
>
About 3 oz (7 slices) prosciutto
>
3 tbsp Land O Lakes ® Butter, melted
>
Fresh thyme leaves, as desired for garnish
>
Balsamic glaze, as desired for garnish
Steps
1
Heat oven to 400°F. Line sheet pan with parchment paper.
2
Slice small pocket into each date; stuff each with 1 cheese cube—it’s okay if it isn’t fully enclosed. Cut each slice prosciutto lengthwise into 3 strips. Wrap each stuffed date with prosciutto strip, tucking edge under opposite side of open date. Place onto prepared sheet pan. Brush tops of dates with melted butter.
3
Bake 9-11 minutes or until prosciutto is crisp and begins to brown and cheese is melted. Let cool 1 minute before placing onto serving tray; garnish with thyme leaves and drizzle of balsamic glaze.
Tips
Kitchen shears are great for cutting prosciutto into strips.
These apps can be assembled a day ahead. Wrap tightly and refrigerate. Bake as directed, adding 1 minute to bake time.
