Fruit and Cheese Platter
Make a fruit and cheese platter with few ingredients and my best tips! You only need 15 minutes to create a beautiful board for entertaining.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 6 ounces Gouda sliced
- 6 ounces white cheddar cheese
- 3 cups red grapes
- 1 green apple sliced
- ⅓ cup Marcona almonds
- ⅓ cup pecans
- ¼ cup fig jam
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 ounces Sea Salt Crunchmaster Crackers
- 2 ounces Rosemary and Olive Crunchmaster Crackers
- Few sprigs Fresh rosemary for garnish
Instructions
- Arrange the sliced cheese around the board keeping space between them.
- Add in small pinch bowls or dishes to be filled before serving.
- Place the fruits around the cheese and pinch bowls, layering them so they're easy to remove from one another.
- Place the crackers around the fruits and cheese, stacking them high or fanning them out. There may be extra depending on the size of your board.
- Fill in the gaps with almonds and pecans, add jam and honey to the pinch bowls, plus any other accompaniments you'd like to add. Garnish with rosemary sprigs.
Notes
My Top Tip: Serve cheese at room temperature. If you prepare the board in advance, make sure to let the cheese sit out for 30 minutes before serving.
Storage: Store any of the leftovers items separately to preserve freshness and texture.
To store cheese, place wax paper around it and then cover the wax paper with plastic wrap. I would not recommend freezing leftover cheese because it breaks down the protein and makes it more crumbly. I would also not recommend vacuum sealing any leftovers since it may create mold if not done properly.
