The other day, I spotted this recipe for grapes wrapped in goat cheese. Intrigued, we made some last night, and, sure enough, they were creamy, sweet and delicious! What a cool little appetizer to serve when friends come over.(Photos by Robert Thomas for A Daily Something)
OMG!!! :P
ReplyDeleteFruit + Goat cheese = amazing! Thanks for sharing :)

My mouth started watering immediately when I saw just the title of this post. Going to buy grapes now...
ReplyDeleteOh I know! My mom made these one Christmas - and for holiday flare - rolled some in chopped up fresh basil, some in lovely paprika, and others in ground almonds... the result was not just a party in your mouth - but lovely and festive to look at!
ReplyDeleteSo original! I serve the same appetizers over and over. I must try this.
ReplyDeletethat looks soooo yummy. thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletethey look great-anything with goats cheese is alright by me! just had a wine and cheese night on the weekend-will save the idea for next time.
ReplyDeleteThat looks so tasty! I like how simple it is - however, my favorite instruction in the whole recipe has to be "place on thrifted plate."

Oh yum! That sounds like a scrumptious combination:) Totally need to try it. Thanks, Joanna! Have a lovely day, xo
ReplyDeleteSounds positively delicious!!

I don't think I've ever had goat cheese...but if I like it, this sounds awesome! Cheese is hit or miss for me though...I almost lost it when I ate Gorgonzola on accident. It tasted like wild animals in my mouth...
ReplyDeleteYum!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!
ReplyDeleteYum. I want a goat so I can have goat cheese whenever I want... er.... that might be odd. Anway - sounds DELICIOUS, something Ive never tried before! I'd blow my foodie friends away with these.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, You're awesome

That looks so good! So simple and yet, definitely a crowd pleaser. Can't wait to bring these out next time I have people over.
ReplyDeleteGrapes? Goat's Cheese? Delicious!
ReplyDeleteMy kind of snack.
ReplyDeleteI love goat cheese, but my husband doesn't. i wonder other what soft cheese would work.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of grapes and goat's cheese - even better warmed up on a chunky slice of bread.
ReplyDeleteYou can also pickle the grapes (http://willowbirdbaking.com/2011/08/14/sweet-and-spicy-pickled-grapes-with-goat-cheese/)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds odd, but don't think of the dilly, briny pickle taste -- it's a spicy, cinnamon and pepper-based, sweet dessert pickling solution! And it's fabulous with goat cheese :)
holy moly! goat cheese wrapped grapes?! sounds magnificent, and does anyone else think they look like mini snowballs? adorable!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing! I can't wait to try them! They look so delectable and fancy.
ReplyDeleteyou can do the same with blue cheese and roll in chopped pecans or pistachios. also delish!
ReplyDeleteoh, looks yummy
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing. And for trying them out first, for us! All in the name of research right? ;)
ReplyDeleteLove it! I think I'll try a softer cheese! Thansk so much for sharing!

Whoa! I might have to use this as an excuse to have friends over. Friendly gatherings are always the best, this would be the icing on the cake! Or...in this case, the goat cheese on the grape. :)
ReplyDelete..Too much? Possibly. It's probably even worse I laughed at my own joke.

Try this variation for the grapes: mix together blue cheese and cream cheese (about half and half) until smooth, cover the grapes, and then roll in crushed candied pecans. SO GOOD.
ReplyDeleteThat is SOOO clever!
ReplyDeleteMade these for a family Christmas party this year, but we used crushed pistachios instead.
ReplyDeletethese sound soooo good! what a great idea!
ReplyDeleteit sonds ñamiiiiiii
ReplyDeletei will use this receipe in my next dinner!!!!

this is such a good idea!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Can't wait to make these.
ReplyDeleteYum-my! x
ReplyDeletei think these would be great with a glass of chilled white wine! :)
ReplyDeleteI love sliced strawberries smeared with goat cheese. Grapes, however, could become a contender for the goat cheese pairing!
ReplyDeleteJoanna, this is my favorite go-to party recipe. One addition that is to DIE for is if you blend pistachios in the blender until they're the consistency of a powder and role the goat cheese grape balls in them until they're covered in the nut powder. Beautiful little truffles that are incredible!
ReplyDeleteI just read everyone else's comments and realizes that I'm not the first to suggest pistachios. Awesome suggestions from everyone, leaving me pregnant and hungry at work, daydreaming of goat cheese!
ReplyDeleteI rolled a goat cheese log in chopped pistachios and dried cranberries for a party a couple weeks ago. It was a huge hit and a great salty, sweet/ creamy, crunchy combination. The goat cheese needs to sit out a bit to soften up and you really need to push those pistachios and cranberries into it, but still a super easy thing to make.
ReplyDeleteI made these last night for a dinner with friends and they were delicious! Instead of walnuts I used shaved almonds. Thanks for the idea! :)
