Instructions

  2. Arrange the Cheese: Slice the Tillamook Medium Cheddar Chunk on a diagonal for visual appeal. Place it in one area of the board and add other cheeses if desired.
  3. Add the Fresh Fruits: Slice fruits into bite-sized pieces and arrange them around the cheese, ensuring a variety of colors and textures for a festive look.
  4. Place the Carbs & Pastries: Position mini croissants, donuts, granola, mini pancakes, and waffles in separate sections, offering a variety of carbs for guests to enjoy with cheese and spreads.
  5. Add the Toppings & Spreads: Place small bowls for butter, jam, syrup, honey, and yogurt in accessible spots without spilling onto other items.
  6. Mix It Up: The key to an appealing cheese board is variety. Arrange items in a way that showcases different colors and textures.
  7. Serve: Let the board sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving so the cheese softens slightly. Gather your guests and enjoy!

Notes

  • Cheese Variety: Add cheeses like brie, goat cheese, or gouda to offer different flavors and textures.
  • Fruit Options: Add pomegranate seeds, figs, or dried fruits like apricots for more variety.
  • Nuts: Include roasted nuts like almonds, walnuts, or cashews for crunch and extra flavor.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Keep fruits stored separately and consume within 1-2 days for freshness.
  • Reheating: There’s no need to reheat the board, just serve at room temperature.
  • Kid-Friendly: For kids, consider using more mild cheeses and fun-shaped fruits and sweeter spreads.
