A Note from Feedfeed

Each date is filled with a combination of feta cheese dipped in honey and coated with Parmesan, creating a decadent contrast to the natural sweetness of the dates. The topping, a vibrant mix of walnuts, rosemary, scallions, parsley or arugula, honey, and orange zest, adds a crunchy and aromatic finish to this easy holiday appetizer.
