Makes 24 appetizers

Ingredients
12 dates, cut in half lengthwise, pit removed
2 ounces sliced prosciutto, torn into 24 strips
4 ounces goat cheese
1/4 cup Organic Meyer Lemon Olive Oil
Blood Orange Balsamic Vinegar for drizzling
2 tablespoons toasted walnuts, finely chopped

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese with the Lemon Olive Oil and mix well. Place the date halves cut side up and using a small spoon, place a teaspoon of the lemon goat cheese in the center of the date. Place a stuffed date half on the largest end of the prosciutto slice and roll the prosciutto tightly around the date. Place on a baking sheet and cook for 8 minutes until prosciutto is crisp and dates are heated through. To serve, skewer with toothpicks, drizzle with Blood Orange Balsamic and sprinkle with crushed walnuts.
