Prepare the Ingredients:
-
Roast the Grapes:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and dry the grapes thoroughly, then place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a pinch of salt (if desired). Toss gently to coat.
- Roast in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the grapes begin to burst and caramelize. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
-
Toast the Nuts:
- If your nuts aren’t pre-chopped, chop them into smaller pieces.
- Lightly toast them in a dry pan over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
Toast the Bread:
- Take 1 slice of whole grain bread and place it in a toaster or on a grill. Toast it until golden brown and to your desired crispiness.
Assemble the Toast:
- Once the bread is toasted, remove it carefully and place it on a plate.
- Spread the softened goat cheese evenly over the warm toast using a butter knife or small spatula.
Add the Roasted Grapes:
- Arrange the roasted grapes on top of the goat cheese, distributing them evenly across the surface to ensure each bite has some grape.
Sprinkle the Nuts:
- Evenly sprinkle the toasted chopped nuts over the roasted grapes.
Drizzle with Honey:
- Finish by drizzling 1 teaspoon of honey over the top. You can use a spoon or a honey dipper for better control over the drizzle.
