Cheese and Accompaniments

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Char the Dates

    Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat. Cut the Medjool dates in half and remove the pits. Place the halved dates cut side down on the grill and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until they are slightly charred and caramelized.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Cheeses

    While the dates are grilling, arrange the cream cheese, sharp cheddar cheese, and gorgonzola cheese on a serving platter. You can slice or crumble the cheeses as desired.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Platter

    Once the dates are charred, remove them from the grill and let them cool slightly. Arrange the charred dates on the cheese platter alongside the orange marmalade, candied walnuts, and dried figs.

  4. 4

    Serving

    Serve the platter at room temperature, allowing guests to enjoy the combination of cheeses, charred dates, and accompaniments.
