  • Yield

    Makes 30 hors d'oeuvres

Ingredients

1/4 cup pecan halves (1 ounce)
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 ounces firm blue cheese, crumbled (3/4 cup)
30 small plain crackers such as Melba toasts

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.

    Toast pecans in a shallow baking pan until fragrant and a shade darker, about 10 minutes. Toss hot pecans in pan with butter and salt, then cool.

    Step 3

    Coarsely chop nuts, then toss together with cheese in a bowl, without mashing.

    Step 4

    Top each cracker with a mounded teaspoon of cheese mixture, pressing together slightly, then top with a parsley leaf and a grape half, gently pressing them into cheese.
