I am a huge fan of bacon wrapped dates and all versions of them, including this elevated version using prosciutto. I have been making these for all fancier potlucks, like Thanksgiving and Christmas! The prosciutto gets nice and crispy, which doesn’t always happen with bacon, while the inside goat cheese is melted and creamy.

They are great for making hours ahead of time, or a quick appetizer made right before serving!
