Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 6 slices Baguette, cut into 1/2-inch slices
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
Toppings
- 9 Grapes
- Salt, to taste
- 1/4 cup Cheddar Cheese, shredded
- 1 pinch Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Instructions
- Slice the Baguette: Cut the baguette into six 1/2-inch slices to create the base for the toast.
- Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle each baguette slice with 1 teaspoon of olive oil to help with browning and add flavor when broiled.
- Add Toppings: Place grapes evenly on each slice, sprinkle salt to taste, add the shredded cheddar cheese, and finish with a pinch of cayenne pepper to add a slight kick.
- Broil the Toasts: Place the prepared slices under the broiler for about 2-3 minutes, watching carefully until the cheese has fully melted and the bread edges begin to toast.
- Drizzle with Honey and Serve: Remove from broiler and immediately drizzle each toast with honey for a sweet contrast to the savory and spicy elements. Serve warm.
Notes
- Use seedless grapes for easier eating and a better texture.
- Adjust cayenne pepper according to your spice preference or omit if sensitive to heat.
- Broiling times may vary depending on your oven; watch closely to avoid burning.
- For a different flavor, experiment with other cheeses like goat cheese or mozzarella.
- This snack pairs well with a light white wine or sparkling water.
