Roasted Grape and Honey Goat Cheese Crostini

Ingredients

• 2 cups red grapes
• 1 Tablespoon olive oil (additional for crostini)
• 1 1/2 tsp fresh thyme (chopped, plus 3 sprigs)
• 1 baguette (sliced on the bias (~14-16 slices))
• 4 oz. goat cheese (room temperature)
• 1 Tablespoon honey
• Salt (to taste + flakey sea salt for garnish)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss grapes in 1 tablespoon of olive oil, with 3 thyme sprigs (no need to destem them for the roast). Place the grapes on a baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes. Flip over, and continue to bake for an additional 6-8 minutes. Once roasted, remove the grapes from the vine (if you haven't already; you can roast them either way) and discard thyme stems.

2. 2

   Meanwhile, place the baguette slices on a baking sheet and drizzle olive oil across one side of the slices. Flip, and lightly drizzle additional olive oil, being careful to not drench them. Sprinkle on salt and pepper as desired. Bake for 5-7 minutes on each side, until toasted.

3. 3

   While the crostini and grapes bake, stir together the room temperature goat cheese with honey and 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves. Add salt to taste.

4. 4

   Spread goat cheese mixture evenly across the tops of the crostinis. Top the crostini with roasted grapes and sea salt flakes, and an additional drizzle of honey if desired!
