Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss 2 cups red seedless grapes with 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, 1/4 tsp sea salt, and 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper on a baking sheet. Roast for 20 minutes until grapes are soft and slightly caramelized.

  3. Step 3: In a medium bowl, combine 4 oz goat cheese, 2 tbsp heavy cream, 1 tsp honey, and 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves. Whip with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Step 4: Spread about 1 tbsp of whipped goat cheese onto each toasted baguette slice.
  5. Step 5: Top each crostini with 6-8 roasted grapes and garnish with additional fresh thyme leaves before serving.
