Origin Boursin Stuffed Dates
Stuffed dates are a popular treat in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, but this version adds a twist by filling the dates with Boursin, a creamy French cheese known for its garlic and herb flavor. It’s a gourmet, quick appetizer that’s both elegant and simple.
What I Love About This Recipe
The contrast between the natural sweetness of the dates and the rich, herbed cheese is absolutely delightful. The Boursin adds a luxurious texture and flavor, making this dish feel indulgent yet simple to prepare.
