Date Night: Parmesan-Stuffed Dates wrapped in Prosciutto
These little hors d'oeuvres are flavor bombs! Sweet dates, salty parmesan, and savory prosciutto are a perfect trio.
We based these on the bacon-wrapped dates at A.O.C. Winebar. I thought the prosciutto was an improvement, and grilling them achieved the same crust and caramelization as a hot oven.
