Serves 6
Ingredients
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups red grapes
4 thyme sprigs and 1 tsp. thyme leaves, divided
1/2 tsp. kosher salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter, softened
6 slices multigrain bread
6 Tbsp. mascarpone
Directions
Total time: 15 minutes
Preheat broiler. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add oil, then grapes, thyme sprigs, salt, and black pepper. Cook, tossing often, until grapes soften and begin to burst, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a heatproof bowl, discard thyme sprigs and set aside.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon. Spread 1 tsp. butter on each slice of bread and sprinkle each with 1/2 tsp. cinnamon-sugar. Transfer bread to baking sheets and broil until toasted, about 1 minute.
Spread 1 Tbsp. mascarpone on each toast. Top each with 2 Tbsp. grape mixture and some of its juices. Sprinkle thyme leaves over toasts and serve immediately.
