Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates (pitted)
- 4 ounces Goat cheese (soft, plain)
- 12 pieces Almonds (raw or roasted, unsalted)
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil (optional, for drizzling)
- 1 teaspoon Fresh herbs (like thyme or rosemary, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Slice each date lengthwise on one side to create a pocket, being careful not to cut all the way through.
Remove any pits from the dates if they are not already pitted.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon of goat cheese into the pocket of each date, gently pressing it in with the back of the spoon or your fingers.
Place one whole almond into the center of the goat cheese in each date, pressing it down slightly to secure.
If desired, drizzle the stuffed dates with a small amount of olive oil for added richness.
For an elegant presentation, sprinkle the dates with fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary.
Serve immediately as a low-carb appetizer or snack. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
