Instructions

Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Slice dates lengthwise on one side and remove the pit.
Stuff: Spoon a bit of goat cheese into each date. Set cut side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
Pine Nuts: Meanwhile, add pine nuts to a small saute pan and set over medium heat. Cook until golden brown and toasted, about 5 minutes (keep a careful eye as these can burn easily).
Serve: Drizzle warm dates with olive oil and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts, salt, and pepper.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
Make ahead: If you want to make them in advance, you can prep and stuff the dates up to 3 days in advance. Keep this either in an airtight container in the fridge or on a tray sealed with plastic wrap to keep the dates from drying out. When you want them, just pop them in the oven.
