The crispy, salty, tangy, and oh-so sweet bite that comes together in a pinch: you need this Balsamic Parmesan Prosciutto Wrapped Dates and Halloumi recipe at every holiday party this season!

Jump to Recipe

So, you’re having a holiday party — maybe it’s one where people come and go, maybe it’s a sit-down dinner, or maybe it’s simply a cocktail hour… whatever it may be, you ALWAYS need finger food! Always. I mean, nobody wants to walk around trying to carry a fork, knife, and plate just to get a taste of the delicious looking spread on the table. Plus, more options at these types of events is always a good idea, and this recipe is basically a two-in-one. So, whether you’re in this scenario, or simply just want a damn-good appetizer, these Balsamic Parmesan Prosciutto Wrapped Dates and Halloumi are definitely for you!!

The crispy, salty, tangy, and oh-so sweet bite that comes together in a pinch: you need this Balsamic Parmesan Prosciutto Wrapped Dates and Halloumi recipe at every holiday party this season!

the breakdown…

This Balsamic Parmesan Prosciutto Wrapped Dates and Halloumi recipe is truly one of my favorite apps out there… mostly because they’re just so easy! With just a few ingredients and a pretty methodical preparation, these can easily be whipped up in just a matter of minutes. Start off this simple snack by mixing up ALL the flavor that’s going around those dates and halloumi pieces. Dates are delicious in and of themselves — super sweet, chewy, and incredibly addicting. I mean, for real, don’t put me in front of a big bag of dates… it’s dangerous. 

Oh, and that halloumi?? Truly one of the best cheeses out there. If you aren’t familiar with it, halloumi is a very sturdy Greek cheese that’s actually packed with protein. As a matter of fact, vegetarians often use it as a protein alternative (like in these dishes). It’s got a super nice chew that holds up well in the oven, especially since I opt to freeze it for about 5-10 minutes prior to baking everything together in this recipe. So, while I could have made this Balsamic Parmesan Prosciutto Wrapped Dates and Halloumi recipe strictly a date-based recipe — which is a bit more of a traditional route — I decided to mix it up. Give everyone in the crowd some options, you know? I mean, the sweet dates are delicious with the tangy balsamic glaze, but the halloumi brings in a whole different level of saltiness that is the perfect pairing with dates. Plus, everyone can grab what they love!

that balsamic…

With all these sweet and salty flavors, we definitely need to throw some acid in there. That’s where the delicious balsamic coating plays into everything. Start things off with some salty sharp parmesan VERY finely shredded. You want it to be almost like parmesan flakes, or the texture you get from grated it with a microplane. This is important so that the parmesan can really stick to the pancetta and get super melty in the oven. 

With that melting parmesan, the next step is to add the balsamic glaze: another ingredient that will act as a vital sticky binding agent, but also is absolutely necessary for that acid. Balsamic glazes can be a wide range of sweet, tangy, acidic, etc. Really, though, all varieties of balsamic will work well here… just make sure you don’t accidentally use balsamic vinegar instead of the glaze! If you only have a balsamic vinegar on hand, you can make your own glaze. Really, you just need that viscous consistency to help bind things together and get SUPER caramelized in the oven.

all the flavor!!

With those salty and tangy components, go in with some garlic powder, dried sage, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes for a final bit of flavor. Voila! Told you this was easy. Now all you have to do is toss your dates and halloumi in that good sauce and wrap them up in some Prosciutto. This is where things really start to come together. Prosciutto is one of my favorite varieties of charcuterie out there. A crisps up amazingly in the oven, and doesn’t cause a greasy mess like bacon or pancetta does. Plus, it’s usually packaged in very thin slices, which makes the prep for this recipe so much easier. That being said, you could also totally use a thin cut bacon or pancetta, you just might need to bake everything for a bit longer!

Once everything’s wrapped up and ready to go, send it to the oven until everything is nice and crisp. The dates and halloumi will warm through and get super caramelized from all that balsamic. Serve this dish warm with a few toothpicks or skewers and you have yourself a delicious finger food! Maybe to serve on Christmas, or even as an addition to a cheese board? The possibilities are endless. 

I hope you enjoy these Balsamic Parmesan Prosciutto Wrapped Dates and Halloumi as much as I do! Let me know what you think in the comments below:))

Ingredients

  • 8 oz block halloumi cheese

  • ½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated

  • ⅓ cup olive oil

  • ¼ cup balsamic glaze (store bought or homemade)

  • 2 tsp garlic powder

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Red pepper flakes, to taste

  • 8 oz Medjool dates, pitted

  • 4 oz thinly prosciutto, sliced into thin rectangles

Instructions

  • Slice your halloumi into ½ – 1 inch pieces and place in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to firm up.
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper fitted with a greased wire baking rack.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the parmesan, olive oil, balsamic glaze, garlic powder, sage, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Toss in the dates and halloumi pieces. Wrap each coated date and piece of halloumi with one piece of prosciutto. Spread out seam side down on the wire baking rack.
