Ingredients
  

  • 12 large Medjool dates pitted
  • 4 ounces Boursin cheese garlic & herb flavor
  • 1/2 cup shelled pistachios finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Carefully slice each date lengthwise on one side to create an opening, being careful not to cut all the way through.
  3. Stuff each date with approximately 1 teaspoon of Boursin cheese, pressing it gently to fill the cavity.
  4. In a small bowl, mix the chopped pistachios, honey, olive oil, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  5. Place the stuffed dates on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Spoon the pistachio mixture over each stuffed date, pressing it down slightly to adhere.
  7. Roast in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the dates are warm and the pistachios are lightly toasted.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
