Roasted Grape, Thyme and Ricotta Crostini

 

Here's another Festivus appetizer that I served this year along with the Lemon-Thyme Crostinis. You can find the original here, it was posted in Real Simple magazine in September 2011 (according to another blog).

Ingredients:

-grapes

-olive oil

-kosher salt

-fresh thyme sprigs

-good rustic bread, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces

-olive oil

Another easy appetizer! Drizzle the grapes with oil and salt and roast for 450 for 7-9 minutes and toast the sliced bread.

Spread the toast pieces with ricotta.

Top with the roasted grapes and thyme.

Serve warm.

The Festivus spread.

I enjoyed this recipe much better than the Lemon-Thyme Crostini, but I think this recipe could have benefited from a change in cheese, a creamy brie would have been good, but also maybe a sharp cheese like blue cheese or a good white cheddar.
