Preheat the oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Slice each date lengthwise, being careful not to cut all the way through. Remove the pit.
16 large Medjool dates
Chop small pieces of soft goat cheese and pair them with an almond.
3 ounces soft goat cheese, 16 whole almonds
Stuff each date with cheese and almonds, then take a piece of prosciutto and wrap it tightly around each date. I cut in half my prosciutto as it was large.
10 slices of prosciutto
Place the wrapped dates on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until the prosciutto is crispy and golden.
Allow to cool slightly before serving. Arrange on a platter and serve warm or at room temperature.

Use large, fresh Medjool dates for the best results. They’re naturally soft, sweet, and easier to stuff than smaller varieties.
Goat cheese is creamy and rich, so a small amount goes a long way. Overstuffing can make it ooze out while baking.
(Optional) Lightly toast the almonds in a dry pan for 2–3 minutes before stuffing. This enhances their nutty flavor and makes them crunchier.
You can assemble them a day in advance and store them in the fridge. Bake when ready to serve.
To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5–7 minutes until warmed through.
