Stuffed Dates with Gorgonzola and Crispy Parma Ham

Snack

One of many incredibly good recipes from the new cookbook 'Hot Cheese' by Polina Chesnakova: dates stuffed with Gorgonzola, wrapped in Parma ham and grilled until crisp.

Ingredients
24 medjool dates
120 g aged Gorgonzola (Gorgonzola piccante)
12 slices thinly sliced Parma ham, torn in half lengthwise

Preparation:

  • Line a baking tray with baking paper. 
  • Using a paring knife, slit the dates lengthwise and carefully remove the pits without splitting the dates.
  • Spoon the Gorgonzola evenly into the dates and wrap each in a piece of Parma ham.
  • Heat the grill to medium.
  • Place the stuffed dates, filled side up, on the prepared baking tray. Grill for 4–5 minutes, until the ham is crisp and the cheese starts to bubble and ooze. Handle carefully – the dates will be extremely hot!
  • Leave to cool for a few minutes before serving.
