Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise to create an opening, and remove the pit.
In a small bowl, mix the goat cheese, honey, chopped walnuts, and thyme leaves until well combined.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the goat cheese mixture into the cavity of each date and gently press the sides of the date together to close.
Wrap each stuffed date with a slice of prosciutto, ensuring the seam is on the bottom to secure the wrapper.
Place the wrapped dates seam side down on the prepared baking sheet. Brush lightly with olive oil for extra crispiness.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the prosciutto is golden and crispy.
Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. Optional: garnish with additional thyme leaves for presentation.
