Prosciutto Wrapped Dates

(picture borrowed from http://www.skinnymenny.com/tag/cooking/)

Ingredients (portion sizes are for 1-2 people):
-1 piece Prosciutto (thinly sliced)
-3 medjool dates
-Feta or Blue Cheese


1. To remove pits from the dates slice an "x"shape in the end closest to the pit, peel the edges of the date back slightly and pull out the pit.
2. Once the pit is removed there will be a nice little opening to add your cheese to.  Fill the date with a few crumbles of either Feta or Blue Cheese (or any savory cheese of your choice really.  Feta and blue cheese seem to offer the best consistency and taste).
3.Slice the prosciutto into 3 long triangles (these do not have to be perfect by any means)
4. starting with the wider end of a prosciutto triangle, wrap/roll the prosciutto around the stuffed dates (individually)
5. pan fry on medium heat, turning frequently so that each side browns.
