Even though I usually don’t stay up until midnight on New Year’s Eve, it’s one of my favorite holidays because it gives me the excuse to eat fun and festive appetizers and drink champagne!

Do you use the words appetizer and hors d’oeuvres interchangeably like I often do? Well, an hors d’oeuvres is generally a one bite item not part of a meal while an appetizer is served at the table as the first course. But, who really cares. Call them whatever you like because they’re all fun and delicious!! All I know is that hors d’oeuvres is one of the hardest words to spell! 😉

I love small bites, hors d’oeuvres, appetizers and tapas style eating because I get to try multiple flavors. Whether you’re looking for dips, crostini, stuffed bites, nuts, or veggies, this recipe roundup, gathered mostly from amazing Registered Dietitians, is your go-to list for New Year’s appetizer and hors d’oeuvres recipe ideas!

Blue Cheese Stuffed Dates Wrapped in Prosciutto

{Recipe Round-Up} 45 Delicious New Year’s Eve Appetizers (20)

Print Recipe

These nuggets of deliciousness are one of my favorite appetizers of all time. The pungent blue cheese, sweet dates, salty prosciutto and herbaceous rosemary are a flavor match made in heaven.
Be sure to buy dates that don’t look flaky and dry. I find the best and plumpest dates are sold at Middle Eastern markets. Sprouts usually has good quality ones too!
To make this dish even faster to make, purchase dates with the pit already removed.

  • Author: TastyBalance Nutrition
  • Yield: Makes 18 dates 1x
  • Category: Appetizer

Ingredients

Scale

  • 18 plump dates (don’t buy dry looking dates)
  • ½ cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 teaspoon finely chopped fresh rosemary
  • 2 teaspoons milk (whatever type you have on hand is fine)
  • 3 ounces thinly sliced prosciutto (you may not use all of it)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a ½ size (18″x13″) sheet pan with a silicone baking mat or a piece of parchment paper.
  2. Remove the pits from the dates with a small paring knife by making a slit across the top of the date, from back to front. You should now be able to easily lift the pit out. Some may be more stubborn to remove than others. Or, just buy pitted dates.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, mash the blue cheese, rosemary and milk until a thick paste is formed.
  4. Cut the prosciutto slices into strips, about ¾ inch wide and 2 inches long. Each strip does not have to be perfect and some may look messy. Whatever size will fit around the date will work.
  5. Stuff each date with ½ teaspoon of the cheese mixture. Wrap each date in 1 of the cut prosciutto slices. Place on baking mat and bake for 10-12 minutes or until the cheese just starts to ooze.

Notes

Enjoy warm out of the oven or at room temperature
