I meant to share this recipe with a set of images featuring a local goat cheese company as part of my Local Spotlight series. The images being a year old, I haven’t looked at them in awhile and took for granted that they would be safely stored on my computer. What a disappointment it was to discover that the entire album is missing. There should be a backup file somewhere and hopefully I’ll be able to share a new Local Spotlight post soon.
In the meantime, these crostini are good enough to stand on their own. Goat cheese, grapes and honey are wonderful together and layered atop toasted baguette slices, they are fit for holiday company. The grapes get a little oven time with the cheese but just long enough to warm them up. The best part about this appetizer is how easy it is to put together. Preheating the oven will be your biggest chore but you’ll appreciate the reward. Serve with your favorite bottle of wine and enjoy!
These are a slight variation on one of my favorite crostini in the archives: Gorgonzola and Honey Toast.

I’m so sorry that the album disappeared. I hate when that happens! But I must agree that these crostini can more than stand on their own. What a wonderful appetizer!
