Stuff It – Part II
Last week, we walked you through the Shake, Shuffle, and Roll recipe. Now it’s time to stuff something else.
So because you want a good excuse to wear your new bow tie this weekend, you’ve planned a swanky soiree, and you need a delicious hor d’oeuvre to serve. Try these savory stuffed dates.
It’s A Date
Ingredients:
• 16 Medjool dates, pitted
• Soft goat cheese or blue cheese
• Large basil leaves
• Strips of prosciutto, in inch wide strips
• 16 tooth picks soaked in water 10 minutes
Heat broiler on lowest setting. Spoon cheese into each date. Wrap in a basil leaf, then roll in a prosciutto strip. Secure with a toothpick. Broil until cheese bubbles and prosciutto crisps, turning once. About 3 to 4 minutes per side.
Compliments to the host / hostess.
