Ingredients
- 4-5 Cheese varieties of your choice (at least one hard, one soft, one blue and one interesting cheese)
- crackers/bread (fresh sliced baguette, crackers, bread sticks, seed crackers)
- Pickles (Olives, cornichons, pickled onions or pickled peppers.)
- preserves (Jams, jellies and fruit preserves like figs and melon are delicious and go well with a variety of cheeses.)
- Fresh fruit / nuts (Berries, apples, pears, clementines, pomegranate. Pecans, hazelnuts and almonds.)
- Something interesting or quirky (Mince pies for Christmas, Halloween candy, chocolate Easter eggs. Something to tie in the season you are in.)
- Charcuterie (optional but delicious. Salami, Prosciutto, Parma ham or Coppa. A pot of Pâté is also a good idea.)
Instructions
- Using your largest board or platter, start by adding the cheese first.
- Some can be kept whole and others can be cubed or sliced, ready to serve.
- Add bowls of pickles and preserves.
- Place fresh fruit and charcuterie into any empty gaps. For visual interest, slice some of the fruit and place them in groups. Fold the salami and roll or casually place meats like prosciutto.
- Serve immediately.
