Equipment

  • 1 pairing knife
  • 1 large plate/platter

Ingredients

  • 20 Medjool dates
  • 4 ounces goat cheese

for garnish

  • hot honey
  • mint leaves

Instructions

  • First take the goat cheese out of the refrigerator and bring to room temperature, about 20 minutes prior to stuffing the dates.
    This just makes the goat cheese easier to work with and doesn't crumble as you stuff the dates. 
  • Meanwhile pit the dates and chiffonade the mint leaves.
    Make slits in the dates, remove the pit and take about 1 teaspoon of the goat cheese and fill the date. Lay onto a platter and continue filling the rest of the dates.
  • Once all the dates are filled, drizzle with the hot honey and finish off by garnishing with the mint leave chiffonade.
