The Best Holiday Cheese Board
The holidays are here, which means lots of food, family, and fun! And what better way to celebrate than with a beautiful holiday cheese board. Made with seasonal fruits, spreads, and delicious meats and cheeses, a spread like this is sure to impress any guest.
Ingredients
- 3-5 cheeses ranging from hard and semi-soft to soft and crumbly
- a variety of meats like prosciutto, salami, soppressata, and chorizo
- a variety of mild-flavored crackers and bread
- an assortment of fruits with different textures like grapes, pears, pomegranates, golden raisins, and persimmons
- seasonal spreads such as honey, cranberry jam, and fig jam
- an assortment of nuts like marcona almonds, Valencia almonds, and pistachios
- a mixture of acidic vegetables like olives and cornichons
Instructions
- Arrange the cheese, spreading them out evenly on the board. Slice the cheese while it's cold into whatever shape you want (cubed, sliced, etc.)
- Next, spread out the meats, making sure there's some near every piece of cheese on the board.
- Then add crackers, fruit, spreads, and vegetables.
- Lastly, fill in the gaps with the nuts. Et voilà! Your perfect holiday cheese board is done!
Notes
- Be sure to slice the cheese while it's cold, so it doesn't fall apart when you cut it. It's also best eaten at room temperature.
- Our favorite cheeses to include are chèvre (goat cheese), roquefort, brie, and manchego.
