Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Spread the pecans out on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with half the maple syrup, season lightly with salt and bake for 5 mins. Stir well to coat in the syrup, then return to the oven for 2-3 mins until glazed. Stir again and set aside to cool.
- Stuff the dates with the Roquefort and top each with a pecan half. Arrange on a serving platter, scatter over the thyme and drizzle with the remaining maple syrup.
Tip: You can easily push out the pit with a chopstick
