Cheese Grape Clusters Appetizer

Step 1

Heat oven to 350 degrees 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")

Step 2

In medium bowl, combine cream cheese, Gorgonzola cheese and chives. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

With your hands (this gets a bit messy!) wrap about 1-2 teaspoons of cheese mixture around each grape to cover.

Step 4

Roll in chopped nuts.

Step 5

Place in single layer, and cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours before serving.
