Dates Stuffed with Goat Cheese

Made with just four simple, these stuffed dates are a wonderfully easy-to-assemble dish.

¼ cup fresh goat cheese, softened (2 oz)
2 Tbsp. heavy cream
12 large Medjool dates
coarse sea salt, such as fleur de sel or Maldon, for sprinkling

Beat goat cheese by hand until smooth, then stir in heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and spreadable.

Make a slit lengthwise in each date, and remove the pit. Fill each date with a heaping tsp. of goat cheese mixture. Sprinkle with salt just before serving.

Makes 4 servings.
