Cheese Stuffed Dates

These little blighters are darn tasty…and dates are healthy, right?? I would allow 4 dates per person.

Level: Easy

Groceries:

• 24 large dates, pitted
• 1/4C fresh basil, chopped fine
• 1/2C softened goat cheese
• 1/2C mascarpone cheese
• Salt and Pepper to taste
• 10 slices prosciutto, sliced in half lengthwise

How to:

Combine the cheeses in a small bowl with basil, salt and pepper. Make a slit in the dates and stuff the cheese mixture inside. Close the dates and wrap with a length of prosciutto and secure with a toothpick.
