Prep Time20 minutes

Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: American
Servings: 6 people

Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped nuts pecans or almonds work best, but use whatever you like best!
  • 1 8-oz package cream cheese softened
  • 2 oz Gorgonzola cheese (about ⅓ cup) crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • 48 small red grapes

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350° F. Place pecans (or almonds) in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 5-7 minutes, until fragrant. Careful not to burn! Once cool, finely chop the nuts. (I use a food processor and then toss in the sieve to sift out the "dust")
  • In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Gorgonzola cheese and chives. Mix until well combined.
  • With your hands (this gets a bit messy!) wrap about 1-2 teaspoons of cheese mixture around each grape to cover. 
  • Roll in chopped nuts.
  • Place in single layer, and cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours before serving. 

Notes

This is a family favorite! So fresh and delicious. Perfect for spring or an Easter appetizer! 
I've had these babies in the fridge for 5 days now and they're still so delicious! So feel free to make these ahead of time and impress your guests anytime they come over.
