Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Slice each Medjool date lengthwise, enough to create a pocket for stuffing.
Stuff each date with 1-2 teaspoons of goat cheese, pressing gently.
In a mixing bowl, combine walnuts, rosemary, orange zest, orange juice, cinnamon, and sea salt. Stir in olive oil.
Arrange stuffed dates in the baking pan and sprinkle with the walnut topping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes until puffed and golden.
Let rest for 5 minutes, then drizzle with hot honey before serving.
Enjoy warm and impress your guests with these delightful bites.
