Ingredients
- 12 large Medjool dates, pitted
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup walnuts, roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons honey
Instructions
- Prepare the dates: Carefully make a slit lengthwise in each date and remove the pits if not already pitted, ensuring the dates remain intact to hold the stuffing.
- Stuff the dates: In a small bowl, mix the crumbled feta, grated parmesan, and chopped walnuts. Fill each date cavity generously with this cheese and walnut mixture.
- Roast the stuffed dates: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the stuffed dates on a parchment-lined baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes until the cheeses are warm and slightly melted, and the walnuts are toasted.
- Drizzle with honey: Remove the dates from the oven and immediately drizzle them with honey. Let them cool slightly before serving to allow the flavors to meld and the honey to settle.
Notes
- Use Medjool dates for best flavor and size for stuffing.
- Adjust the quantity of walnuts depending on personal preference for crunch.
- Serve warm for the best flavor experience.
- Can be prepared ahead and roasted just before serving.
