Sauteed Grape and Goat Cheese Dip
This sautéed grape and goat cheese dip takes just minutes to make and is great for so many different types of parties and get-togethers.
Everyone needs a go-to party appetizer recipe that can be prepared at the very last minute. This is mine.
A couple of years ago, I attended a cookbook signing event hosted by Michael Natkin, author of Herbivoracious. He made a dip similar to this, and it had a room full of bloggers and food writers raving.
I left inspired, wanting to recreate this dish with a cheap recipe twist. I made a few tweaks and came up with a less expensive but still delicious dip that I have made for many parties since then.
The best part? It literally takes just a minute or two to throw together.
