Goat cheese & grape crostini

I know this sounds like it won't taste good, but I promise it does! My original source for this recipe was in a recent issue of Bon Appetit which calls for herbed goat cheese and both green and red grapes. I've tried this a few times and found that adding basil and a hint of sage to the goat cheese is a tastier than the herbed goat cheese available at my local grocery store. Also, either red or green grapes work well, but it will be much more colorful with both.


Ingredients

French baguette
15-20 Green and/or Red seedless grapes
6 oz. Goat cheese
1 tsp. basil
1/4 tsp sage
salt
pepper


Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Slice the baguette into small pieces, spray olive oil on one side of each piece, and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Put the bread in the oven for about 10 minutes so it gets a little crunchy.


Mix the goat cheese, basil, and sage in a small bowl and set aside. Cut the grapes lengthwise.


Spread the goat cheese mixture on each slice of bread and sprinkle the grapes over the slices. Voila!
