Notes

When removing the pit, you can split the Medjool date lengthwise with a sharp knife, but I find that it's easy to do with your hands.

If you don't have an air fryer, try baking these in the oven! You can cook on a baking sheet at 375 degrees F for 7-8 minutes. Of course, they'll still be delicious if you decide not to bake them.

These brie stuffed dates can customized to your liking:
- Brie is delicious in this recipe, but any other creamy cheese will work! I've made it with cream cheese and goat cheese, and they are both wonderful.
- Walnuts are my favorite nuts to use when making these, but any other nuts will work. Try pecans, pistachios, or even peanuts!
- Herbs and spices give an extra flavor to this dish, but they are totally and can be modified to your taste. I love sage, but other wintry herbs like thyme, rosemary, and even parsley will work well.

Store the leftovers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days in an airtight container. You can enjoy cold or warm it up back in the air fryer for a few minutes!
