Ingredients 

10 dried dates

1/4" thick slice manchego cheese, cut into twenty 1/2"-pieces

20 almonds

5 thin slices prosciutto, sliced lengthwise into 4 thin strips about 1/2" wide

How to make it 

Preheat oven to 375°. Lightly spray a baking sheet with vegetable spray.

Slice the dates in half lengthwise, and discard the pit. Stuff each date with a piece of cheese and an almond.

Wrap prosciutto around the date crosswise a few times, and place on the baking sheet. Repeat for the rest of the dates.

Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from the oven, and transfer to a serving dish.
