These irresistible Roasted Grape Crostini combine balsamic-roasted grapes with whipped goat cheese, pine nuts, and a drizzle of honey for an easy and delicious appetizer.
Confession: I hate going out on New Year’s Eve. Don’t get me wrong, I love to celebrate (and have the party hats and confetti to prove it), but I’d much rather entertain friends at home than venture out on what can be the craziest of crazy nights on the restaurant scene.
A bottle of well-chilled champagne, a smorgasbord of snacks, and the company of good friends, and I’m ready to ring in the New Year.
(Not to mention at least a few episodes of the Twilight Zone Marathon. “Talky Tina,” anyone?)
Try as I might to avoid falling into a New Year’s Eve recipe rut, a few snacks always seem to make a repeat appearance. To keep things fresh (new year, new recipe, right?), I like to add one or two new items to the table.
This year, I’m doing Roasted Grape Crostini. To be perfectly honest, I’m such a carb lover that you could put pretty much anything atop a slice of baguette and I’ll be your best friend. These balsamic-roasted grapes, however, married with tangy whipped goat cheese, a few pine nuts, and a drizzle of honey, were downright addictive.
