Best Stilton Stuffed Dates Recipes

DEVILS ON HORSEBACK

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place 24 toothpicks in a small bowl filled with water; let soak 15 minutes. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and fit with a wire rack; set aside.
• Halve dates lengthwise being careful not to cut all the way through. Place a small amount of cheese in the center of each date. Wrap a piece of bacon around each date. Secure bacon with a toothpick.
• Place dates on prepared baking sheet. Bake until bacon is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.

STUFFED DATES

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add a few tablespoons of olive oil. Fry the duck skin in the hot oil until crispy. Remove from the oil, dice and toss with a pinch of salt.
• In a bowl, combine the peanut butter, citric acid, evaporated cane juice and 6 pinches salt. Stuff the dates with the peanut butter mixture.
• Julienne the nori and sprinkle on top of each date. Garnish with duck skin and bonito flakes.

WARM DATES WITH BLUE CHEESE AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• With a small paring knife, slit each date lengthwise and spread open just enough to remove the pit while leaving the date intact. Fill the cavity of each date with a small piece of blue cheese and fold the date over the cheese, pressing it back into its original shape.
• Cut a strip of prosciutto as wide as each date is long and wrap it around twice, enclosing the date almost completely. Place the dates on a sheet pan and bake for about 8 minutes, until the prosciutto is browned and the cheese starts to melt.
• Cool slightly and serve warm.
