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.
Greg nearly passed out from food bliss...

Parmesan-Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Prosciutto
Ingredients (2 appetizer servings)

6 or 8 Medjool Dates, pitted
1 oz Parmigiano-Reggiano Cheese, cut in matchsticks (1 in by 1/4 in)
4 thin slices of prosciutto

1.  Preheat grill on high heat.

2.  Stuff one piece of cheese in each date.  Wrap each date in prosciutto.  Arrange on a grill pan, one inch apart.

3.  Grill for 10 minutes, turning the dates once or twice for an even crust.  Serve immediately.
