Crostini with caramelized grapes, speck and stracciatella, a delicious and simple appetizer to prepare, perfect for an aperitif. The recipe is very simple and I confess, when I made them, I didn’t expect them to be so successful, especially with Giorgia. In my opinion, pairing fruit with cheese is a way to find new inspirations. It’s true, usually the fruit most used to pair with cheese is pear, but I assure you that grapes have their charm too. I’ve seen some recipes pairing this fruit with goat cheese, but I wanted to try something different, pairing it with stracciatella. The result was really appreciated by everyone! Of course, you can choose the pairing you prefer. The only advice I give you is to use a sufficiently flavorful cured meat, like speck, to contrast with the sweetness of the other ingredients.

For this recipe, I caramelized the grapes in a pan with honey, rosemary, and a drizzle of oil. Of course, you should choose firm grapes that are not too ripe, otherwise, they risk falling apart during cooking. Once caramelized, you just have to assemble your crostini on slices of bread toasted in a pan or oven with a drizzle of oil. Few ingredients for a special result. And now, let’s head to the kitchen together, because the crostini with caramelized grapes, speck and stracciatella will be ready in a click!
