Ingredients
16 Medjool dates
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.
Using a sharp paring knife, make a slit lengthwise in each date and remove pits. Set dates aside.
Combine goat cheese, cream cheese, orange zest, cinnamon and 2 tsp. honey in a small bowl, mixing until well blended.
Stuff each date with about ¾ tsp. of the cheese mixture. Top each with a pecan half (or a few sliced almonds).
Place stuffed dates in a small baking dish. Bake for 5 minutes to warm.
Drizzle each date with a few drops of honey prior to serving.
