170 gr fresh goat cheese
to serve Vignoli Black Garlic EVOO
12 large white grapes
12 black peppercorns

Preparation

Imperial Metric

Using a pastry cup or cookie cutter with a diameter of 2 inches, cut 12 discs from the slices of bread. The trimmings can be eaten as they are or made into croutons to be enjoyed in a Caesar Salad or vegetable soup.
In a medium bowl, work the goat cheese together with a few drops of Vignoli Black Garlic Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil using a fork until you get a smooth and creamy consistency (add a little milk if needed). Transfer to a pastry bag without a nozzle and cut the tip to obtain an opening of 0.6 inches.
Insert a peppercorn on the top of each grape, at the point where it was attached to the stalk, pressing gently.
Squeeze a little garlic goat cheese onto each disc of bread, creating a mound.
Insert the grapes into the cheese, pressing gently to make them penetrate. Van Helsing’s canapés are ready to be served.
