Roasted Grape Crustini with a thyme and honey goat cheese spread with julienne prosciutto

Yields 25 crustini

Ingredients:

1 French baguette
2 bunch grapes roasted and cooled
2 Tablespoons chopped Thyme
4 oz goat cheese
8 slices prosciutto
1 Tablespoon Honey

Instructions:

First arrange grapes on baking sheet to roast. Season with oil salt and pepper place in 375 degree oven. Roast grapes until tender and not firm 20 minutes.

Let cool and reserve Slice baguettes into half inch slices and season with oil and bake 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Chop 2 T of thyme and mix well with goat cheese. Drizzle honey in and check consistency and flavor. Here a nice touch of sea salt and black pepper can bring the great flavor of the honey and goat cheese out.

Julienne Prosciutto and start to assemble. Spread goat cheese mixture liberally on the crustini , then add the prosciutto and serve two halved roasted grapes on top.

These can be made ahead of time before guests arrive. This is a great chance to let all the flavors meld together.
