Sometimes my ridiculousness even amazes me.

I have no idea what in tarnation made me want to make some kind of roasted grape mascarpone French toast crostini business.

Honestly, I’m not even sure I got the capitalization right. ย Is it French Toast or is the toast French? Beats me.

So, anyhoo —

I’m keeping things short today because I have some lawyer stuff to do for a family situation. ย Wish me luck!

Honey Roasted Grape Mascarpone French Toast Crostini

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds red and white seedless grapes
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt plus a few pinches more for finishing
  • 12 slices baguette or french bread about 1/2 -3/4 inch thick
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 8 ounces mascarpone
  • 1/4 - 1/2 cup sliced almonds

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425
  2. Combine grapes, olive oil, honey, and 1/4 teaspoon salt
  3. Spread out in an even layer on a parchment covered baking sheet
  4. Roast 10 - 12 minutes, until some of the grapes begin to burst and the juices run out, careful not to burn the juices
  5. Reduce heat to 200
  6. Heat a griddle to 400 or a skillet on the stove to high
  7. Whisk together eggs, milk, and vanilla bean paste
  8. Soak the pieces of bread in the egg mixture and transfer to griddle or skillet, cook 3-4 minutes each side, working in batches and move them to a foil or parchment lined baking sheet into the 200 degree oven to keep warm
  9. Divide marscapone evenly among the cooked french toast slices, spoon a few grapes with juice on top, then almond slices and a pinch of salt
  10. Serve immediately

    I love roasted grapes and French toast! And I think I could whip up a great substitution for the cheese. This is on my list of things to veganize. Good luck with the lawyer stuff!

    Okay, first of all – good luck (with your lawyer business). Second of all – WHAT?! I can imagine the sweet flavor of the grapes against the creaminess of the mascarpone set atop one of my favorite things…French toast. Holy! You’ve outdone yourself, my friend!

    Roasted grapes? I have never even thought of those before, let alone tried them. I bet they go SO well with cheese.
