FAQs
Can I use frozen grapes for this recipe?
It’s best to use fresh grapes because frozen grapes release extra moisture when heated, which can make the toast soggy.
Can I make this recipe vegan?
Yes, substitute the cheddar cheese with a plant-based cheese substitute, and use maple syrup instead of honey for the drizzle.
