This recipe is a repost from over a year ago. I really, really, really love it though, so I don’t want it to get thrown in the archives without another note of appreciation. Roasting grapes make them a bit sweeter, richer in taste, and more decadent and gourmet. This recipe is simple, combining the classic flavors of soft cheese and “preserves”, bringing some oomph to breakfast toast and a comforting and warm start to the day. The parsley garnish adds a fragrant touch, but it could just as easily be replaced with mint or thyme leaves depending on what will complement your mood for the day.
Why grapes glow:
Grapes: are a rich source of vitamins A, C and B6, folate, potassium, calcium, iron phosphorus, magnesium and selenium. They are beneficial in helping to cure asthma, prevent heart disease, treating migraines, relieve and cure indigestion, prevent fatigue, attack kidney disorders, prevent breast cancer, reduce symptoms of Alzheimer’s, promote healthy eyes, and reduce inflammation.

Ingredients
- 2 cups of red grapes (1 bush)
- Dash of salt
- 3 ounces soft goat cheese
- Slice of bread, toasted
- 1 tbsp honey

Instructions
Lay out a bushel of grapes onto a parchment-paper lined baking dish, pulling grapes from their stems as needed to that each grape is resting on flat surface. Add a dash of salt.
Bake at 375 degrees for 25 minutes, or until the grapes have reduced in size and caramelized. Yes, I can explain those empty spots ;).
Spread a layer of soft goat cheese over a piece of toasted whole-wheat or whole-grain bread.
Top the cheese with the roasted grapes while they are still warm.
Garnish with parsley, mint, or thyme and drizzle with honey.
Enjoy!
