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.
