Ingredients
Scale
Dates & Cheese
- 12 Natural Delights® Whole Medjool Dates
- 4 oz brie cheese, cut into 12 small slices (about 1 tsp each)
Nuts & Garnishes
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- Honey, for drizzling
- Flakey sea salt, for garnish
- Chopped sage or thyme, for garnish
- OPTIONAL: crushed red pepper flakes, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F and allow it to fully preheat for the best cooking results.
- Prepare Dates: Carefully split each Medjool date lengthwise and remove the pit to create space for the stuffing.
- Stuff Dates: Insert a slice of brie cheese into each date, then gently press a few pieces of chopped walnuts into the cheese for added crunch and flavor.
- Air Fry: Place the stuffed dates in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the brie softens and becomes gooey, watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Add Toppings: Remove the dates from the air fryer, then lightly drizzle honey over each. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt and chopped sage or thyme. Add crushed red pepper flakes if desired for a subtle kick.
- Serve: Serve the stuffed dates immediately while warm and gooey to enjoy the full flavor and texture combination.
Notes
- Use whole Medjool dates for natural sweetness and soft texture.
- Ensure the brie is at room temperature for easier stuffing and better melting.
- Adjust cook time slightly depending on your air fryer model to avoid overcooking.
- Walnuts can be substituted with pecans or almonds for variation.
- For a vegan alternative, use plant-based cheese and a honey substitute like maple syrup.
- Serve as an appetizer or part of a cheese board for entertaining guests.
