Tastes rich and crunchy, yet it's very quick and simple to prepare. Lovely with a nice glass of wine. Sometimes I make this for myself to eat with a salad.
Pour chopped nuts into a bowl, and set aside. Spread each bread slice with approximately 1 tablespoon goat cheese. Dip into the pecans to thoroughly coat the cheese. Arrange on a plate, and push a grape half into the top of the cheese on each slice.
Tip:
Toast the slices of baguette on a baking tray under the grill for just a couple minutes - they shouldn't be too crunchy. You could also toast the pecans in a dry frying pan, if desired.
Used different ingredients.
Used the main idea but using what I had on hand, substituted crackers for bread, cream cheese for goat cheese and almonds for pecans. Still great.
Altered ingredient amounts.
I also screwed up and actually mixed the nuts in the goat cheese. Good nonetheless, though. Also, I added more grape halves on top because it seemed like you needed a bit of sweetness with every bite.
Yum. Quick and easy. In fact, almost too quick. My husband didn't have a bottle of wine opened yet because he anticipated it would take longer to make.
