Grapes, Cheese, and Pistachio Bites

The grapes, cheese, and pistachio bites are a delightful and easy-to-prepare snack, perfect for an aperitif or an appetizer. Here’s how to proceed:

Ingredients

• Grapes (preferably seedless)
• Soft goat cheese or other creamy cheese of your liking
• Unsalted pistachios
• Honey (optional, to garnish)

Preparation

1. Start by washing the grapes and drying them thoroughly with kitchen paper.

2. Finely chop the pistachios with a knife or by using a food processor. Spread the chopped pistachios on a plate.

3. Take a small amount of goat cheese and wrap each grape in cheese until entirely covered. The amount of cheese to use depends on the size of the grapes; a thin layer that covers the surface is enough.

4. Roll the cheese-covered grapes in the chopped pistachios until completely coated.

5. If desired, you can garnish with a drizzle of honey to add a touch of sweetness.

6. Arrange the grape bites on serving plates or on a tray and serve immediately.

Curiosity

These bites are the perfect balance between sweet, salty, and crunchy. The grapes provide natural sweetness, the cheese adds creaminess and the pistachio brings a crunchy and slightly salty note that deliciously contrasts with the rest. This finger food can be experimented with different types of cheese, such as sweet gorgonzola or blue cheese, to create unique flavor combinations every time.
