Medjool Dates With Goat Cheese Recipes

Steps:

• Beat goat cheese by hand until smooth, then stir in heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.
• Make a slit lengthwise in each date, and remove the pit. Fill each date with a heaping teaspoon of goat cheese mixture. Sprinkle with salt just before serving.

Steps:

• Toast pistachios in a dry small skillet over medium heat, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 5-8 minutes. Let cool slightly, then finely chop.
• Mix goat cheese, salami, and lemon zest in a medium bowl.
• Slice dates in half lengthwise, taking care not to cut all the way through, and open like a book. Stuff each date with a small scoop of goat cheese mixture.
• Arrange dates, filling side up, on a large plate or platter. Drizzle honey over and top with pistachios.

Steps:

• Place the vinegar and sugar in a small sauce pan over medium heat.
• Dissolve sugar and reduce until the mixture coats the back of a spoon.
• Make a slit in each date and fill with goat cheese.
• Drizzle balsamic reduction onto a small plate in an attractive design.
