Ingredients

Cheeses

  • 6 ounces Spanish manchego cheese
  • 1 wedge Parmesan cheese
  • 5 ounces chevre, rolled in fresh herbs
  • 4 ounces blue cheese
  • 6 ounces creamy Brie cheese
  • 6 ounces smoked Gouda cheese

  • 1 bunch grapes

Dried Fruit/Nuts

  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup dried blueberries
  • ½ cup golden raisins
  • ½ cup macademia nuts

Instructions

  • Arrange cheese on platter so it is evenly spaced and in varying heights and positions. Cut or crumble some of each cheese and let it spill on the platter.
  • Add grapes and strawberries. Then, arrange sauces in small bowls on the board. Rearrange fresh fruit as necessary creating height when it makes sense.
  • Add bread slices and crackers, then fill in spaces with dried fruit and nuts.
  • Look at the overall cheese board and fill in any remaining spaces or gaps with more crackers, fruit, cheese, and nuts.
