Gorgonzola Stuffed Dates with Prosciutto

(yields 24 pieces)

What You’ll Need:

24 pitted dates, sliced down the middle (found on sale for $2.99/lb)

24 small pieces of gorgonzola (about 3/4 cup)

8 pieces of prosciutto, sliced

paprika

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425F.

Insert one piece of cheese into each pre-sliced date.  You may have to just squish the cheese in, especially if it’s crumbly.

Sprinkle prosciutto with paprika and slice each piece of prosciutto into 3 pieces.

Wrap each date with a slice of prosciutto, with paprika side toward the date.  Insert a toothpick into the date to secure it.

Bake 8-10 minutes, or until prosciutto is sizzling.  Enjoy immediately…at room temperature they got a little dry.

TOTAL:  $6.50 or $.27 per serving.
