Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Medjool dates
- 60 grams Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using a small knife, carefully slice each Medjool date lengthwise to create a pocket. Remove the pit but keep the date intact.
Cut the Parmesan cheese into small rectangular strips, about 1 cm wide, so they can fit neatly into the dates.
Stuff each date with a strip of Parmesan cheese and gently press the date closed around the cheese.
Arrange the stuffed dates on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Drizzle the dates lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with fresh thyme leaves, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 5 minutes, or until the Parmesan starts to soften and the dates are slightly caramelized.
Remove from the oven and let the dates cool for 1-2 minutes before serving.
Transfer the dates to a serving platter and enjoy warm or at room temperature.
