Goat Cheese & Walnut Covered Grapes! Juicy grapes are enveloped in a creamy goat cheese spread and rolled in crunchy walnuts in this delicious, simple appetizer!

I’ve got some big changes coming up for The Kitchen Prep this summer that I can’t wait to share.

Some of them I have to keep under wraps for a bit, but I can start by sharing something small. {Otherwise, I may just explode from the anticipation.} For example, the fact that you can now reach the blog by simply typing www.thekitchenprepblog.com into your browser.

A tiny thing, I know, but this thing is seriously my baby and that itsy bitsy little change is comparable to it’s first step. It’s enough to send a girl twirling around screeching, “Wheeeeeeeeeeeee!” all Liesl-style. {Please tell me you remember this part from The Sound of Music. I have now scoured Google for a clip of that scene with absolutely no luck… and am utterly disturbed at some of the things that pull up that are completely unrelated to this. }

Anyway, food.

So, if you are as fabulous as I think you are, you will no doubt be invited to lots of summer cookouts and fancy soirees {or, you know, just backyard get togethers} over the next few months. And most likely, you will either be asked to bring a dish or will volunteer {even though you barely have time to shower, let alone whip up something fabulous} because you are a polite party-attendee.

If you are like me {and I hope for your sake you are not}, you will probably rack your brain for an original, delicious crowd pleaser that doesn’t have you slaving away in the kitchen all day and arriving at said party looking like a disgruntled mess.

Well, guess what? I think I found the solution.

Look at these adorable little things! It’s like a baby cheeseball swallowed a grape.

I’m a little bit in love with them. And you will be, too. Four ingredients. Semi-healthy. Kinda fancy. So yum.

Tell me you don’t want to get invited somewhere right now just so you can take these.

Yeah, that’s what I thought.

Ingredients  

  • 3 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 3 ounces goat cheese room temperature
  • 1 bunch grapes
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions 

  • In a small bowl, combine cream cheese & goat cheese. A hand mixer can make this easier if the mixture is too stiff.
  • Place a small dollop of the cream cheese mixture in the center of a piece of plastic wrap, spreading it out a bit. Place a grape in the center of the mixture and fold the plastic wrap up around it to fully envelop the grape. Remove plastic wrap.
  • Roll the coated grape in walnuts to fully coat.
  • Place on a plate or in a container and refrigerate until set.
  • When ready to serve, pierce with toothpicks or decorative skewers.

  • Great recipe, and fabulous write up! I am going to try to do something similar for Thanksgiving appetizers. I always dread when people ask me to do potluck because cooking is not really my forte… This sort of recipe is my only hope! Thanks. 🙂
