Instructions

  1. Arrange all the ingredients on a large board or platter. Garnish with fresh herbs. Let the cheese sit at room temperature for 20 minutes, then serve.
  2. If you want to make this platter in advance, assemble everything on the board except the bread products and fresh herbs. Cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours. Remove from the refrigerator, uncover, and add bread and herbs. Let stand for 20 minutes, then serve.

Notes

  • The platter can be prepared up to 8 hours before you plan to serve it. Cover everything tightly with plastic wrap, then store in the refrigerator. Let it come to room temperature before serving.
  • It’s helpful to label the cheeses so that your guests know what they’re eating!
  • Be sure to put out plenty of serving implements such as knives and spreaders so that it’s easy for people to serve themselves.
