WHAT CHEESE IS BEST TO STUFF DATES?
I used Brie cheese, which is lovely and pairs wonderfully with the date and prosciutto. You can try other kinds of cheese, like goat cheese, feta cheddar, blue cheese, or even ricotta cheese.
Recipe Tips
· Drizzle with Honey; it makes a great difference.
· Add a toothpick into each date for ease for the guests.
· You got dates with pits. With a small serrated or paring knife, slice 1/4″–1/8″ down lengthwise into the date. You should hit the pit. Pull open the date and remove it.
· Store leftovers in the fridge and reheat in the air fryer for a minute or so.
