Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Take each Medjool date and slice it lengthwise, being careful to keep it intact.

Using a small spoon, fill each opened date with softened goat cheese.

In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped walnuts, minced fresh rosemary, orange zest, fresh orange juice, ground cinnamon, sea salt, and extra-virgin olive oil. Stir well.

Spoon the walnut topping over each stuffed date.

Transfer your topped dates onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for about 15 minutes.

Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Drizzle with hot honey if desired.
