Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 Natural Delights® Whole Medjool Dates
  • 4 oz brie cheese (cut into 12 small slices, about 1 tsp each)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • Honey, for drizzling
  • Flaky sea salt, for garnish
  • Chopped sage or thyme, for garnish
  • OPTIONAL: crushed red pepper flakes, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to heat up while you prepare the dates.
  2. Prepare the dates: Carefully split each Medjool date lengthwise and remove the pit to create space for the filling.
  3. Stuff the dates: Insert one small slice of brie cheese inside each date, then gently press a few pieces of chopped walnuts into the cheese for added texture and flavor.
  4. Air fry the stuffed dates: Arrange the stuffed dates in a single layer inside the air fryer basket and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes until the brie softens and becomes gooey.
  5. Drizzle with honey: Remove the warm dates from the air fryer and lightly drizzle honey over them to add a touch of sweetness.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle flaky sea salt, chopped sage (or thyme), and if desired, some crushed red pepper flakes over the dates. Serve immediately for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh, high-quality Medjool dates for the best natural sweetness and texture.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly if your air fryer varies in heat intensity; the cheese should be melted but not burnt.
  • Add crushed red pepper flakes cautiously if you prefer a little heat alongside the sweet and savory flavors.
  • You can substitute walnuts with pecans or almonds if desired.
  • Serve these appetizers warm for the best gooey texture and flavor contrast.
