This appetizer looks fancy - but it is so simple to make...
Make sure you buy the best ingredients, since there is no cooking as such, its the quality of the dates and the cheese that make this dish really sing.
20 dates (Mejdool variety) - either buy the seedless ones or just pop out the seed at home.
100 gms Feta cheese - I usually try and get the Greek Feta.
20 slices of good prosciutto
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Crumble the cheese and carefully stuff the dates with the crumbled cheese. Do not over fill, or you will end up with busted dates.
Wrap the prosciutto slice around the date and secure with a toothpick.
Arrange the dates on a cookie sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes till the bacon starts to crinkle.
Serve warm - not hot.
** Prosciutto is a dry-cured ham that is usually thinly sliced and served uncooked; this style is called prosciutto crudo in Italian and is distinguished from cooked ham, prosciutto cotto.
