Roasted Grape Crostini with Brie and Fresh Thyme

Ingredients

4 servings

1 small loaf of crusty whole grain bread, sliced into ½-inch slices
1 lb seedless red grapes
3 tbsp olive oil, give or take
¼+ pound wedge of brie (I only needed ¼ pound for my little loaf, larger/more crostini will require more brie)
1 to 2 sprigs of fresh thyme
Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Salt, to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit with racks in the top third and lower third of the oven. Line a large rimmed baking sheet and a small rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Brush olive oil lightly over both sides of each slice of bread. Arrange the future toasts in a single layer on the large baking sheet. Remove all stems from the grapes. Transfer the grapes to the small baking sheet, toss them with about 1 tablespoon olive oil and then season them with a light sprinkle of salt and pepper.
Place the grapes on the upper oven rack and the toasts on the lower. Set the timer for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the toasts; they will be ready to remove from the oven around the halfway mark, once they are nice and golden on top. Let the grapes roast for the full 20 minutes, and maybe a few minutes longer. They’re done when they’re tender and their skins are lightly wrinkled.
Slice the brie into long, ¼-inch wide strips, then slice them into smaller strips to fit the crostini (leave the waxy rind on, it’s edible). Top each toast with enough brie to roughly cover the surface, followed by grapes. Finish the crostini with a light sprinkle of pepper and fresh thyme leaves.
