Toast with Roasted Grapes



Ingredients:

  • Crown Jewels grapes

  • olive oil

  • kosher salt

  • fresh thyme sprigs

  • good rustic bread, sliced into 1/2-inch thick pieces

  • olive oil

  • fresh ricotta

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Spread grapes onto a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt. Lay thyme leaves over top. Toss all together gently with your hands. Place pan in the oven for 7 to 9 minutes or until grapes just begin to burst. I prefer the shorter roasting time — it’s nice when some of the grapes remain in tact.

  2. Meanwhile, heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high. Brush the bread with olive oil. Grill until nice and toasty.

  3. Assemble the open-faced sandwiches: Spread fresh ricotta over bread. Top with roasted grapes. Discard thyme sprigs. (While the thyme sprigs look nice, it’s a little impractical to serve the sandwiches with the sprigs.)
