PROSCIUTTO-WRAPPED FIGS WITH GOAT CHEESE APPETIZER

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Quarter the top of the figs, taking the incisions a quarter of the way down the fruit to make an opening for the cheese.
• Stuff each fig with 3 teaspoons of goat cheese. Then wrap each fig with a slice of prosciutto and place figs on the baking sheet.
• Top each fig with chopped rosemary, black pepper, and flaky finishing salt. Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 17-20 minutes.
• Remove the figs from the oven and plate on a cheese board or serving platter. Drizzle with honey and serve warm.

BACON-WRAPPED DATES WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice the dates lengthwise on one side to create an opening. Remove the pit.
• Using a spoon, stuff a small amount of goat cheese into the cavity of each date and press the sides together to close.
• Cut the bacon slices in half. Wrap each date with a slice of bacon and secure with a toothpick.
• Arrange evenly on a baking sheet with raised edges (otherwise grease will get everywhere) and bake for 10 minutes. Remove the dates and use the toothpick to turn each one so it's laying on its side. Bake for another 5-8 minutes, until browned to your liking, and turn the dates to the other side and repeat. Remove from the oven, place on a paper towel lined plate, and let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

WARM DATES WITH BLUE CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• With a small paring knife, slit each date lengthwise and spread open just enough to remove the pit while leaving the date intact. Fill the cavity of each date with a small piece of blue cheese and fold the date over the cheese, pressing it back into its original shape.
• Cut a strip of prosciutto as wide as each date is long and wrap it around twice, enclosing the date almost completely. Place the dates on a sheet pan and bake for about 8 minutes, until the prosciutto is browned and the cheese starts to melt.
• Cool slightly and serve warm.
