Parmesan Stuffed Dates Recipes

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the cheeses and basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Gently pull the dates apart and stuff with about 1/2 teaspoon of the cheese mixture. Close the dates around the filling. Wrap a piece of prosciutto around each date and secure with a toothpick.
• Arrange the stuffed dates on a platter and serve.

Steps:

• Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 450°F.
• Stuff 1 piece of cheese into each date, then wrap 1 piece of bacon around each date, securing it with a pick. Arrange dates 1 inch apart in a shallow baking pan.
• Bake 5 minutes, then turn dates over with tongs and bake until bacon is crisp, 5 to 6 minutes more. Drain on a paper bag or parchment. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Toast walnuts in a small skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until fragrant, but not browned.
• Slit dates lengthwise, but do not cut all the way through.
• Cut Parmesan into thin shards, about the length of the date.
• Stuff a shard of cheese and a walnut half into each date.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut each piece of Parmesan cheese into 12 chunks, making 24 total. Carefully put a chunk of cheese into each date. Wrap each date in a bacon slice and place on a lined baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven for until bacon is crispy and browned, 12 to 15 minutes.
