A sweet hors d’oeuvre with tart goat cheese and a touch of honey. Be sure to use Medjool dates whose caramel tones and substantial size are ideal for stuffing.

- 4 oz. (about ½ cup packed) goat cheese
- 2 oz. cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp. orange zest
- ¼ tsp. cinnamon
- 2 tsp. honey, plus more for drizzling
- 16 pecan halves
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
