Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Toss the grapes with one tablespoon of olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper. Spread on the baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 17-20 minutes, shaking the sheet halfway. The grapes will soften and shrivel a little. Some may burst slightly.
- As the grapes roast, slice the baguette into ½ inch pieces and brush the remaining olive oil over the top of each slice. Place on another baking sheet and bake for 4-6 minutes (at 425 degrees F), until the bread is golden-brown and crispy. Check frequently to make sure the bread does not burn.
- In a small bowl, combine the goat cheese, pecans, honey together. Spread a thin layer of the goat cheese mixture on each piece of bread before topping with 2-3 roasted grapes, depending on size. Finish with a light sprinkle of mint and pieces of pecan if you like. Best served immediately*.

WHIPPED GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI WITH BALSAMIC-ROASTED GRAPES
Everyone who knows me, knows I am a sucker for a cheese board. I love the combination of rich and nutty cheese with the delicate sweetness of fruit. Cheese boards are an entertaining staple for me, but when I want to change it up, I opt for this dish of creamy, velvety whipped goat cheese and juicy balsamic-roasted grapes with crunch from garlic-thyme crostini. Whether it's just you and a friend or you're entertaining a crowd, this dish is sure to be a hit!

Steps:
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Grease a rimmed baking sheet with olive oil and set aside for the crostini.
- Toss together the grapes and the 2 tablespoons of the olive oil on another rimmed baking sheet; season with kosher salt and pepper. Top with the sprigs of thyme. Roast on the upper oven rack until the grapes blister, 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk to combine the 1/4 cup olive oil with half of the chopped thyme, half of the garlic, a pinch of kosher salt and a few grinds pepper in a small bowl. Brush onto the tops of the baguette slices and place on the oiled baking sheet. While the grapes roast, bake the baguette slices on the lower oven rack for 5 minutes.
- Combine the goat cheese with the lemon zest, honey, remaining 1/2 teaspoon chopped thyme and grated garlic and a few grinds pepper in a food processor. Process until well combined, about 1 minute. Stream in the heavy cream with the machine running and process until the goat cheese is aerated and fluffy, 1 to 2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with kosher salt and pepper.
- Remove the grapes and bread from the oven and set the oven to broil. Flip the crostini. Remove and discard the sprigs of thyme from the grapes and carefully toss the grapes with the balsamic vinegar. Return the grapes to the upper oven rack and the crostini to the lower rack and broil until the grapes are caramelized and the bread is toasted, about 5 minutes -- watch closely, as broilers vary.
- To plate, spread the whipped goat cheese in a shallow bowl, top with the grapes and drizzle with any juices from the baking sheet. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, thyme leaves and pepper. Place on a platter with the crostini and enjoy.
GOAT CHEESE CROSTINI WITH GRAPE SALSA
A Bobby Flay recipe that is awesome!!! I have also switched this recipe up for a party the other day and made topped the crostini with goat cheese/mayo mixture with some fresh bruschetta from Trader Joe's and WOW was it good. Love that the mayo mellows the goat cheese just a tad. As far as bread goes, I have used whole grain as well as asiago cheese (I think whole grain is truly best). I have also made these with the pre-made crispy crostini from the grocer (in the specialty food aisle) with great results. For the party, we simply put these out on tables and at the bar as appetizers and everyone gobbled them up!
