Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates

Goat cheese stuffed dates is my new go-to snack/salad addition/appetizer. It can be your new favorite too.  Yes, they sound very impressive. Yes, I promise they are easy to make. Yes, your friends will be jealous impressed with your new-found cooking skills. 

I love finding out that my favorite restaurant treats (like these dates during happy hour) are simple enough to recreate at home. Why not have our own happy hour right at home with some great drinks and these dates?

Goat Cheese Stuffed Dates

Serves one
Recipe from Dash and Bella

8 pitted dates

1/4 cup goat cheese

Splash of balsamic vinegar

Splash of olive oil

Preheat your broiler. Fill each date with goat cheese--no need to be perfect here! 

Set the dates on a baking sheet. Splash with olive oil and vinegar. 

Place under the broiler for approximately four minutes. You want the dates to be warmed thoroughly, the cheese to turn a little brown, but make sure the dates do not burn.

Serve alone, in a citrus salad, or any other way you please!
