Ingredients
- 20 Medjool dates sliced in half and pitted
- 1/4 c. gorgonzola cheese
- 1/4 c. cream cheese softened
- Bacon Bits
- Rough chopped pine nuts
- Finely chopped chives
- Balsamic Glaze: for drizzling
- 1 c. balsamic vinegar
Instructions
- To pit dates: Using a sharp knife, cut around the center as if you were splitting an avocado, pit lifts out easily; set aside.
- In a small bowl, mix together gorgonzola and cream cheese until well combined.
- Pipe or spread gorgonzola filling into each date and arrange on a serving platter. Top with bacon bits, pine nuts, and chives.
- Drizzle with balsamic glaze just before serving.
Notes
To make the glaze - Pour 1 cup Balsamic vinegar into a small saucepan, over medium heat. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until the vinegar thickens and is reduced by half. It should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. The glaze will thicken even more as it cools.
