Date Goat Cheese Basil Bites Recipe

Date Goat Cheese Basil Bites Recipe

  • 1 (8 ounce) package goat cheese, slightly softened
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 pound pitted dates
  • 1/3 pound thinly sliced prosciutto
  • toothpicks
  1. Mix goat cheese, honey, and basil together in a bowl until smooth and creamy; refrigerate for 20 minutes.
  2. Preheat toaster oven or oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  3. Fill dates with goat cheese filling using a small spoon. Wrap each date with enough prosciutto to cover entire date and secure with a toothpick. Arrange on a baking sheet.
  4. Bake in the preheated toaster oven until prosciutto becomes crisp and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Flip each date and continue baking until crisp on top, about 5 more minutes.
