Roasted Grape and Brie Crostini
Roasting grapes transforms them into jammy, intensely sweet-tart little bursts that are extraordinary paired with creamy brie on toasted bread. A drizzle of honey, a scatter of fresh thyme, and toasted walnuts round it out into an appetizer that tastes far more sophisticated than the effort required. These disappear fast at any gathering.

Ingredients
- cups red seedless grapes, left whole or halvedAny grape variety works; Concord grapes are exceptional
- medium baguette, sliced into ½-inch rounds
- oz brie cheese, rind removed, slicedCamembert or goat cheese work well
- cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped
- tbsp honey
- tsp fresh thyme leaves (optional)
- tbsp olive oil
- tsp balsamic vinegar (optional)
Contains: milk, nuts, sulphites.
Method
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Toss grapes with 1 tbsp olive oil and a pinch of salt on a baking sheet. Roast for 18–20 minutes until softened, blistered, and beginning to caramelize.About 20 min
- Meanwhile, brush baguette slices with remaining olive oil and toast in the oven for 8–10 minutes until golden and crisp.About 10 min
- Top each crostini with a slice of brie. Return to the oven for 2–3 minutes until the cheese is just starting to melt.About 3 min
- Spoon warm roasted grapes over the brie. Scatter walnuts and thyme. Drizzle with honey and balsamic if using. Serve immediately.About 3 min
Tips
- Don't crowd the grapes on the baking sheet or they'll steam instead of caramelize.
- The grapes can be roasted up to 2 hours ahead; reheat briefly before serving.
- Use a runny, room-temperature brie for the creamiest result.
Ring the changes
- Add a smear of whole-grain mustard under the brie for a more complex flavor.
- Swap brie for ricotta and add a pinch of black pepper for a lighter version.
Keeping it
Best eaten immediately. Roasted grapes keep refrigerated for up to 2 days.

Homemade Concord grape jelly — the kind with that unmistakable deep purple-red color and intense, musky sweetness — is a world apart from anything you'll find in a jar at the grocery store. The aroma while it cooks is extraordinary. Made simply with Concord grapes, sugar, and lemon juice, it captures a very specific kind of American summer.
