Dates stuffed with goat cheese and pistachios
- Preparation 15 min
- Servings 20 bouchées
- Freezing I do not suggest
It was in a charming lakeside hotel, on my last trip to northern Michigan, that I tasted this little marvel. A simple bite, but a blend of flavors that made an instant impression on me: the intense sweetness of dates and the unctuous softness of goat’s cheese. So good, I had to make it again when I got home! These stuffed dates are perfect for recapturing a little of that cozy, refined ambience, whether for an aperitif or a special treat.
