  • ½ cup (90g) Gorgonzola cheese
  • 20 strips pancetta
  • Fresh thyme (for garnish) optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F Make a slit in each prune with a knife.  Stuff each prune with just a little less than 1tsp of Gorgonzola.
  • Wrap with a strip of pancetta and secure with a toothpick.
  • Place prunes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 mins, or until pancetta is slightly crispy, flipping halfway through. 
  • Top with fresh thyme if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

  • The best Gorgonzola to use is a firm one, as it won’t ooze out as easily as soft gorgonzola when baked.
  • The pancetta strips used in this recipe were about 8 inches long, which can wrap around the prunes a few times.
  • The pancetta can be substituted with bacon, and you can make bacon-wrapped prunes instead!
