Ingredients

1 cup small red and green grapes, halved
80 grams goats cheese
6 thin slices of prosciutto

2. Slice bread thinly on an angle and brush with olive oil on both sides.
3. Place bread slices in batches on hot pan and press down with a spatula.
4. Once golden and crisp, turn and repeat process, removing crisped bread slices onto a platter.
5. To make the dressing, lightly whisk together the vinegar, olive oil, honey, salt and pepper to taste, set aside.
