Awesome in it's simplicity! I made a variety of choices along with the original recipe. Made fresh cranberry sauce to replace grapes. Blue Cheese is VERY different than Goat Cheese. I love it and added a few crumbles to the goat. Lightly toasted the baguette slices for extra crunch. May try the glazed pecan suggestion next time?

Yum! I covered mine with grapes. You need grape in every bite :)

These were pretty good, but probably one of the more unpopular appetizers that I served at the wine tasting event I took them to. However, that might be more because goat cheese is an acquired taste, soooo....yeah. Anyways, I did change things around a little: 1) toasted the pecans first and then just mixed them in with the cheese 2) chooped up the grapes and sprinkled them on top of the spread cheese 3) added just a little dill over the top of the bites to give it some color. Thanks for sharing! :)

These were good. I used toasted walnuts instead of pecans (didn't realize I was out of those until I was making this) and chopped the grapes like another person recommended. Also made it into a layered dip that I served with thinly sliced toasted french bread slices.

This recipe was very tasty! I followed it exactly, and it had a lot of flavor. I did use "candied" pecans, and they gave it a really nice sweetness. I think it would also be good with some flavored goat cheese, maybe a herb flavor.

After reading the revews, I toasted the baguette slices and bought pre-sweetend pecans (came in a bag labeled "Pecan Pie flavored"). I cut the grapes into quarters and put 3-4 pieces on each slice. It was really good! The pecans I bought were probably a little too sweet because I felt like I was eating a dessert (which was both good and bad), so I think next time I will just use plain pecans (or lightly butter/sweeten them myself). But these were really easy to make and really good. Other than the pecans being too sweet (which was my own fault), it was delicious. Enjoy!

Will make again! Even my father who would never eat something called "goat cheese" loved them (told him later). Next time, I would really load up on the cheese. I thought I had enough, but more would be better.

I loved these, especially while I was making them for my family's holiday gathering. Unfortunately, they taste better right after the bread is toasted. My family was hesitant to try them and I had a lot left over.

This was really good and easy. I agree with the other reviewers. You need to have a grape in every bite, so cutting them up into smaller pieces is much better. I used large breadsticks and sliced and toasted them for a smaller "bite".
