Grapes wrapped in goat cheese
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.

My mouth started watering immediately when I saw just the title of this post. Going to buy grapes now...
Oh 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!
So original! I serve the same appetizers over and over. I must try this.
that looks soooo yummy. thanks for sharing!
they 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.
That 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
Sounds 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...
Yum!
What a great idea!
Yum. 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.
Thanks 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.
Grapes? Goat's Cheese? Delicious!
My kind of snack.
I love goat cheese, but my husband doesn't. i wonder other what soft cheese would work.
I love the combination of grapes and goat's cheese - even better warmed up on a chunky slice of bread.
You can also pickle the grapes (http://willowbirdbaking.com/2011/08/14/sweet-and-spicy-pickled-grapes-with-goat-cheese/)
It 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!
These look amazing! I can't wait to try them! They look so delectable and fancy.
you can do the same with blue cheese and roll in chopped pecans or pistachios. also delish!
oh, looks yummy
What a fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing. And for trying them out first, for us! All in the name of research right? ;)
Love 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. :)
..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.
That is SOOO clever!
Made these for a family Christmas party this year, but we used crushed pistachios instead.
these sound soooo good! what a great idea!
it sonds ñamiiiiiii
i will use this receipe in my next dinner!!!!
wow
I used to was very cautious when it comes to the leopard prints too. But then I found really beautiful flats and fell in love with them. This shoes really make you look sexy, even when you're dresses casual. Now I have two pais and wear it every spring and summer. You have to try!
If you like grapes, this is a great after dinner idea

wow this looks fantastic! I never would have thought of that. goat cheese is my favorite
Ooohh, this looks really good! I'm always searching for quick and easy appetizers. Thanks for sharing!
I love these! We had them at my last event but we used a mixture of bleu cheese and cream cheese and rolled them in pistachio's. Called them Bleu Balls! They were a major hit! www.chicchronicles.com
Love that blog! Thanks for sharing!
I actually tried this as an entree when I was visiting Vietnam. Unexpectedly lovely combination!

these are so delicious! my favourite appetizer. even better if rolled in crushed pistachios!

this is such a good idea!
Brilliant! Can't wait to make these.
Yum-my! x
i think these would be great with a glass of chilled white wine! :)
I love sliced strawberries smeared with goat cheese. Grapes, however, could become a contender for the goat cheese pairing!
Joanna, 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!
I 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!
I 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.
I made these last night for a dinner with friends and they were delicious! Instead of walnuts I used shaved almonds. Thanks for the idea! :)
