Delicious! Made it exactly as indicated, with medium-hard year-old goat cheese, and topped it with the delicata squash seeds, which I had roasted with coconut oil, cinnamon and salt. I've been asked to put it into permanent rotation.

I've made this multiple times (without the dates) and it's always a big hit. It's the tahini drizzle that makes this so terrific.

This was delicious! I subbed feta for the goat cheese. A hit at Christmas dinner!
