Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces pitted Medjool dates
- 100 grams blue cheese
- 2 tablespoons brandy
- 50 grams cream cheese
- 12 pieces crackers
- 12 pieces walnut halves
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the blue cheese, cream cheese, and brandy. Mash the mixture with a fork until smooth and well combined.
Using a small knife, make a lengthwise slit in each date and gently open it to create a pocket for stuffing.
Spoon a small amount of the brandied blue cheese mixture into each open date, filling it generously but ensuring it does not overflow.
Place each stuffed date on a cracker.
Top each date with a walnut half for added crunch and flavor.
If desired, garnish the assembled crackers with a light sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and freshness.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful blend of sweet, savory, and nutty flavors.
