Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 100 grams Blue cheese
- 12 halves Pecans
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves (optional)
Instructions
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise along one side to create an opening. Carefully remove and discard the pits.
Crumble the blue cheese into small pieces and set aside.
Take one half of a pecan and place it inside the hollow of a date.
Add a small amount of crumbled blue cheese to each date, pressing gently to fill the cavity but ensuring it doesn’t overflow.
Arrange the stuffed dates on a serving platter.
Drizzle the honey evenly over all the stuffed dates for a touch of sweetness.
Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
