12 pieces Medjool dates
100 grams Blue cheese
12 halves Pecans
1 tablespoon Honey

Take one half of a pecan and place it inside the hollow of a date.

Drizzle the honey evenly over all the stuffed dates for a touch of sweetness.

Step 7

Sprinkle fresh thyme leaves over the top, if desired, for added flavor and presentation.
