Cream Cheese Sandwiches With Dates, Pecans and Rosemary image

For these sandwiches, look for soft, juicy dates. It's also worth seeking out natural cream cheese rather than the gummy commercial kind, or substitute fresh ricotta. The crisp, salty herbed pecans pair very nicely with the slightly sweet spread.
