1 baguette, cut into ¼-inch slices
4 Tbsp. olive oil
36 green, red or black seedless California grapes
1 Tbsp. balsamic vinegar
To taste freshly ground pepper
4 oz. soft goat cheese
6 slices prosciutto

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Lightly brush 12 slices of baguette with half of the olive oil and lay them directly on the middle rack of the oven. Toast for 5 minutes, or until light golden brown.
Put the remaining olive oil in a small saute pan and warm over medium-high.
Add the grapes and saute for 2 to 3 minutes, or until soft and warmed through. Remove from heat. Sprinkle the balsamic vinegar over the grapes and add a few grindings of pepper.
Top each baguette slice with one leaf of basil and spread the goat cheese evenly among the toasted slices.
Cut each slice of prosciutto in half and drape over the cheese. Top each of the baguettes with three of the sauteed grapes.
