Scale
- 22-24 medjool dates
- 1/2 cup goat cheese, room temperature
- 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
- Optional: honey, flaky sea salt, black pepper
Instructions
- Using a small knife, make a slice in the dates just big enough to remove the pits, but so the two halves stay together and form a pocket.
- Stuff about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese into each date.
- Top with the chopped pistachios.
- Drizzle the stuffed dates with honey and serve with a sprinkle of flaky sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper.
Notes
- Not a fan of dates? Suff other dried fruit such as dried apricots or dried figs.
- When fresh figs are in season, make and x-cut the top of the fresh figs, open it slightly, and stuff it with goat cheese.
- Use hot honey instead of regular honey for a spicy kick
