    Wrap with prosciutto.

14. 14

    Broil until prosciutto is crispy and cheese is melting.

15. 15

    Notes: This is a very easy and forgiving recipe.

16. 16

    I dont worry about the quantity of each ingredient; I just buy the smallest container of each.

17. 17

    The dates I get usually come in packages of 16.

18. 18

    These are rich enough that usually two per person is enough.

19. 19

    I use an assembly line method when preparing.

20. 20

    Bacon can be substituted for prosciutto.

21. 21

    Just be sure to broil long enough to fully cook the bacon!

22. 22

    Ive also left out almonds if I didnt have them in the pantry.

23. 23

    And Ive even resorted to using dried dates found in the baking aisle.

24. 24

    Use Medjool dates if you can find them.
