If you’re looking for an appetizer that is sweet, savory, creamy, and crunchy all in one bite, these goat cheese stuffed dates with thyme and pistachios deliver. They feel elevated enough for holiday gatherings and dinner parties yet come together quickly with just a handful of ingredients.

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4-ounces goat cheese
  • 12 Medjool dates
  • 1/8 cup pistachios, chopped
  • 2-3 sprigs of thyme, sprinkled as garnish or mixed in
  • hot honey, *optional

Instructions

  1. Prep the dates: Slice each date lengthwise and remove the pit if not already pitted, keeping the date intact.
  2. Portion the goat cheese: Cut a 4-ounce log of goat cheese into three equal sections. Cut each section into four pieces, giving you 12 evenly sized portions.
  3. Mix the filling: Place the goat cheese pieces in a small bowl and gently mix with thyme leaves and a pinch of black pepper until just combined. Alternatively, you can sprinkle each date with thyme leaves if you prefer not to mix it in.
  4. Stuff the dates: Press or spoon one portion of goat cheese into each date.
  5. Add crunch: Sprinkle or gently press chopped pistachios over the filling.
  6. Finish and serve: Arrange on a platter and drizzle lightly with olive oil or honey if using.
