Ingredients you'll need:

    2. Goat Cheese
    3. Walnuts + Pistachios 
    4. Honey 
      • A little drizzle of this brings everything together and enhances all the flavors. You can omit or swap for Joolies Date Syrup
    5. Fresh Thyme
      • This incredibly fragrant Mediterranean herb pairs well with cheese and really deepens the flavor profile of our savory stuffed date. Feel free to swap with fresh oregano or rosemary.
