The other day at my neighborhood market I spied champagne grapes, and without hesitation put them in my cart. They are a seasonal treat, that are exceptionally sweet and, well, pretty cute. I wanted to balance out the sweetness of the grape with an earthy herb, and all around savory… Oh and something easy.

I decided to make pizza. I took my fresh pizza dough and rolled it in cornmeal, (I love the texture of cornmeal). I gathered a few sprigs of thyme from my garden, carmelized a red onion, and decided on gorgonzola for my cheese. I really wanted to use toasted pine nuts, but I had only almonds in my house, so I used the almonds.

It was a big hit. I decided to freeze the remaining bunch of grapes for snacks as well as dish I will share with you next week.
