Putting together a cheese board may be one of my favorite things! Maybe it’s the creativity, colors, textures, flavors or maybe it’s because I’m enjoying some wine with it? Whatever it is, it’s my favorite!
A cheese board is the perfect addition to any happy hour, girls night, game night, or an appetizer for a party or holiday dinner! I love how people gather around a cheese board and strike up conversation!
So let’s dive into how to create the perfect cheese board. I always shop at my local Trader Joe’s for all of the goods.
Let’s dig in!
I first start with picking 5 cheeses. I like to have an odd number and a mix of soft and hard cheese. My absolute favorites are Camembert, White Stilton with Cranberries, Creamy Toscano Cheese, Chevre with Honey, and Goat Milk Gouda.
I add at least one meat option. My favorite is prosciutto.
To add some color and texture I love adding fresh and dried fruits, sweet and spicy nuts, olives, chocolate, dried figs, pomegranate, red grapes, apples, pears, and a honey or jam.
I finish by adding the crackers. My favorites are the Raisin Rosemary Crisps and Multigrain Pita Bite Crackers.
Once your done let it sit out for an hour before you enjoy with friends and family!
