Description

Delightfully sweet and savory Air Fryer Brie Stuffed Dates combine Medjool dates filled with creamy brie cheese and crunchy walnuts, finished with a drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of sea salt and fresh herbs. Perfect as an elegant appetizer or party snack, these quick and easy bites are warm, gooey, and bursting with flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 Natural Delights® Whole Medjool Dates
  • 4 oz brie cheese (cut into 12 small slices, about 1 tsp each)
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • Honey (for drizzling)
  • Flakey sea salt (for garnish)
  • Chopped sage or thyme (for garnish)
  • OPTIONAL: crushed red pepper flakes (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and allow it to heat up completely before cooking to ensure even heating.
  2. Prepare the dates: Carefully split each Medjool date lengthwise and remove the pit to create space for the filling.
  3. Stuff the dates: Insert a small slice of brie cheese into each pitted date, then gently press a few pieces of chopped walnuts into the cheese to add crunch and flavor.
  4. Air fry the stuffed dates: Arrange the stuffed dates in a single layer inside the air fryer basket and cook for 3-4 minutes until the brie becomes softened and gooey.
  5. Add finishing touches: Remove the dates from the air fryer and lightly drizzle with honey for a touch of sweetness.
  6. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the dates with flakey sea salt, chopped sage or thyme, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat. Serve immediately while warm and melty.

Notes

  • Use Medjool dates for their natural sweetness and soft texture, making them ideal for stuffing.
  • Brie cheese should be sliced small to fit easily inside the dates without overpowering them.
  • Walnuts add a great textural contrast; other nuts like pecans may be substituted.
  • The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so keep an eye to prevent over-melting the cheese.
  • For extra flavor, herbs like thyme can be used as an alternative garnish to sage.
  • This appetizer is best served immediately to enjoy the warm, gooey cheese and crunchy nuts.
