Grapes and Baked Cheese




Source of Recipe


California Table Grape Commission


List of Ingredients




8 ounces fresh goat-cheese log

2 tablespoons flour

1/2 teaspoon dried basil, crushed

3 tablespoons melted butter

2/3 cup chopped pecans or almonds

1 pound seedless grapes



Recipe



Slice cheese log into 1/2-inch rounds. Combine flour and basil. Dredge each slice of cheese in flour mixture. Dip slices in butter then coat with chopped nuts; press nuts lightly into cheese. Place cheese on a plate or small tray and refrigerate 1 hour or until completely chilled.

Place on a nonstick baking sheet (line the baking sheet with parchment paper if it does not have a nonstick surface). Bake at 400 degrees for 6 to 8 minutes, or until nuts are crisp and cheese is warm. Cut grapes into clusters of 6 to 8 grapes. Serve cheese with grapes as an appetizer or dessert.

Makes 8 servings.
