Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pecans
  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

  • 3 ounces Medjool dates (about 12 small), halved and pitted
  • 4 ounces Stilton blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • Thinly sliced prosciutto, for serving

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Toss pecans with 1 tablespoon oil, and season with salt. Spread on a rimmed baking sheet, and bake until fragrant and edges begin to darken, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool, then coarsely chop.
