Ingredients

  • 1 pkg. (10 oz.) almonds, pecans,
  • walnuts
  • 1 pkg. (8 oz.) cream cheese
  • 1/8 lb. Roquefort cheese
  • 2 tbsp. heavy cream
  • 1 lb. seedless grapes, red
  • green, washed and dried

Method

  • To toast nuts, preheat oven to 275 F. Spread nuts on baking sheet and bake until toasted.
  • Almonds should be a light golden brown color; pecans or walnuts should smell toasted but not burned.
  • Chop toasted nuts rather coarsely in food processor or by hand.
  • Spread on a platter.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer, combine the cream cheese, Roquefort, and cream and beat until smooth.
  • Drop clean, dry grapes into the cheese mixture and gently stir by hand to coat them.
  • Then roll the coated grapes in the toasted nuts and put on a tray lined with waxed paper.
  • Chill until ready to serve.
  • NOTE: Any leftover cheese mixture can be frozen and reused.
  • Variations: Roll grapes in softened Pate or tinned mousse of foie gras and rolled in toasted chopped nuts.
