Recipe courtesy Tyler Florence

 

Yield: serves 4-6

Time: 35 minutes

 

1 bagged store-bought large flat bread (rustic style)

extra-virgin olive oil

2 cups mascarpone

1 cup crumbled gorgonzola blue cheese

3 large onions, sliced

kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 cups firm California red Grapes, split down the middle

1 cup toasted walnuts, roughly chopped

2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley

 

 

Take a large sauté pan and add a 2-count of olive oil.  Add onions and slowly caramelize.  When brown and creamy set aside.  Heat your grill and wipe down with oiled paper towels to create a non stick surface.  Take store-bought flat bread and brush with olive oil.  Season with salt and pepper and grill on both sides until warmed through and has nice grill marks.

Transfer to a platter and whilst still warm, smear with mascarpone, sprinkle with crumbled blue cheese, caramelized onions, toasted walnuts and fresh grapes.  Season with a few turns of freshly ground black pepper, drizzle with some more extra-virgin olive oil and top with a shower of fresh parsley.
