Charcuterie, Cheese Platter or Cheese Boards
#traderjoes has some wonderful cheeses and they don't come in massive quantities so you can get a good variety. The pepper jam at both #traderjoes and #costco are both great additions to your Cheese platter. Thinly sliced meats also make a great accompaniment to your boards.
Instructions
- A good cheeseboard that’s beautifully decorated can easily be the star of your party. It’s simple to do and it makes for a wonderful wow factor. I love setting up my cheese board with interesting seasonal additions. I like doing a hard cheese, a soft sweet cheese, a savory cheese & a creamy cheese like a Burata. I always like to add a pepper jam, fruit, nuts, olives, some sort of pate or tapenade and either honey or a fruit preserve. Small slices of bread, hard mini toasts and crackers make a great addition. Put out mason jars and put fresh basil stalks and rosemary stalks in them. It adds a great visual appeal and it makes a fabulous accompaniment to the cheeses. Cheese tastes best at room temperature, so take it out an hour before your guests arrive.
