Herbed Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates

Naturally sweet Medjool dates are filled with creamy, tangy herbed goat cheese and finished with a sprinkle of crunchy pistachios—an elegant yet effortless appetizer that feels both nourishing and indulgent.

Ingredients: (Makes 12 stuffed dates)

  • 12 Medjool dates, pitted

  • 4 oz goat cheese, softened

  • 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped (or rosemary)

  • 1 tsp honey (optional, for subtle sweetness in filling)

  • ¼ cup chopped pistachios

  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, mix goat cheese with chopped thyme and honey until smooth and creamy.

  2. Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each pitted date with about 1–1½ teaspoons of the herbed goat cheese mixture.

  3. Press a pinch of chopped pistachios on top of each filled date to add crunch.

  4. Sprinkle with a light pinch of flaky sea salt, if desired.

  5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 1 day—allow to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
