Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

16 dates
1/4-pound hunk of good-quality Parmesan
A little good-quality olive oil and arugula leaves or parsley sprigs if you want to be fancy

Steps:

Cut a slit in each date and remove the pit.
With a dull knife cut random hunks of Parmesan (slightly larger than the size of an almond) off your block of cheese.
Slip a piece of cheese into each date; if desired, garnish with olive oil and arugula or parsley.

Tips:

Choose dates that are plump and have no blemishes.
Make sure the goat cheese is softened before stuffing the dates.
If you don't have goat cheese, you can use a mixture of cream cheese and feta cheese.
Use a sharp knife to slice the dates.
If the dates are too dry, you can soak them in warm water for a few minutes before stuffing them.
You can also stuff the dates with other ingredients, such as nuts, dried fruits, or bacon.
Be careful not to overcook the dates, as they can become tough.
Serve the dates immediately or store them in the refrigerator for later.

Conclusion:

Parmesan-stuffed dates are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover dates. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delightful snack that will impress your guests.
