- Optional: Fresh thyme or rosemary as garnish
Instructions
- Remove the cream cheese from the fridge while you preheat the oven to 375F.
- Line a small baking sheet or baking dish with parchment paper.
- Prepare the dates, if not pitted, use a small sharp knife to make a slit lengthwise on one side of the date (do not slice all the way through) and remove the pits.
- Open the dates and stuff each date with 1 - 1 1/2 tsp of the plain cream cheese and place each stuffed date on the parchment lined baking sheet (or in the baking dish).
- Sprinkle the walnuts all over the top of the dates.
- Bake the dates for 10 minutes and then remove from the oven. Let the dates sit for 5 minutes before moving to a serving tray and garnish with hot honey and flaky salt. Serve immediately and enjoy!
