Roasted Grape & Goat Cheese Focaccia


Even though it was only a high of 55 degrees today, I couldn't help feeling like it was summer.  The sun was shinning and the birds were chirping.  I decided Blake and I needed to eat something that was summery and light.  Last year, I made something similar, but with cherry tomatoes instead of grapes.  I saw something like this in a magazine, and I really wanted to try it out.  The grapes were just sweet enough, that they played well against the saltiness of the bread and cheese.  And, don't get me started on how easy that bread is! What's better than fresh home cooked bread that you've slaved over all day long? Bread that took no longer than 20 minutes to make! Even if you think you wouldn't like this, I'd recommend you give it a shot.  It'd be a perfect appetizer for get togethers too.

INGREDIENTS: 
1/2 lb. Red Grapes - this amount depends on how much you want to make.
1/4 Sweet Onion - sliced
1 Head Garlic - peeled
5-6 Sprigs Rosemary
Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper

1.  Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees.  After washing the grapes and drying them, add them to a baking dish.  Add in the sliced onions, peeled garlic, and rosemary.  Pour enough Olive Oil to cover them generously. Stir to ensure everything is well coated.  Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

2.  Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes.  The grapes should begin to soften and the garlic should look slightly roasted. 




BREAD:
Pre-made Pizza Dough - You can find it at plenty of grocery stores
2 Tbs. Butter - melted
2 Tbs. Grated Parmesan                

1.  Put the pre-made pizza dough on a baking sheet.  Poke with holes using a fork.  Pour half the melted butter on top and spread evenly.

2.  Bake 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown.  Take out of oven and top with the remaining butter.  Sprinkle with Parmesan, and enjoy!
