Blue Cheese Crostini With Balsamic-Roasted Grapes
A crowd-pleasing appetizer that’s worthy of company, but so quick and easy to assemble, you’ll want to treat yourself and enjoy with a glass of wine for cocktail hour!
If you like the flavor of blue cheese you’ll love this appetizer. If you’re not a fan of blue cheese, substitute another soft cheese like goat, Boursin or Brie.
For the grape mixture, you’ll need some halved seedless red grapes, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, a tiny bit of brown sugar and a pinch of kosher salt.
Roast mixture in the oven until the grapes wilt and give off some syrup, about 15 minutes.
Stir together softened butter and blue cheese and spread evenly over bread slices. Broil until browned and bubbly.
Spoon grape mixture over toasted bread, and sprinkle with pecans, garnish with fresh thyme before serving if desired. This is a great appetizer to enjoy or serve with a glass of wine! You can roast the grapes in advance, allow to cool and refrigerate the grapes and syrup until ready to assemble. Return assembled crostini to oven and run back in oven for 5 – 7 minutes until grape mixture is warmed through. Cheers!
