I recently made these delicious dates for an open house event I catered for my brothers awesome home-building company Gossett Jones Homes. They are beyond simple to make yet elegant enough to serve at any party or gathering. The combination of the sweet date and the creamy, pungent blue cheese can’t be beat. Sometimes I like to amp up the flavor volume even more by wrapping them in salty prosciutto and popping them in the oven for a few minutes. Just divine!
To make the job even easier, look for dates that are already pitted!
Gorgonzola-Stuffed Dates
Ingredients
- 24 dates (preferably Medjool), pitted
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese (or any kind of blue cheese)
- 2 ounces Prosciutto (optional)
Method
- Stuff dates with blue cheese. Arrange on a platter and serve!
- If you don’t wrap the dates in prosciutto, I would highly recommend adding some sliced prosciutto (preferably di Parma kind) on the platter.
