💰Cheaper: ricotta

Cream cheese is lower in fat and can provide a similar texture.

Sunflower seeds are nut-free and cost-effective.

1

Using a small knife, slice into a date lengthwise just enough to remove the pit. Do so with all of the dates.

2

Stuff the dates with goat cheese using a small spoon. Chop the pistachios and press the dates into them, cheese side down, to top them off.

3

Heat the honey in the microwave in 15 second intervals or in a saucepan until warm. Drizzle generously over the stuffed dates.

4

See note for baking instructions if desired. Enjoy with a sprinkle of fresh thyme, chives, or basil.
