Cheese Board
How to make Cheese Board Recipe
SERVES 8
Ingredients:
8 ounces Brie cheese
8 ounces Cheddar cheese (your choice of sharpness), plain or peppered
16 dates
8 ounces red grapes
Method:
A cheese board is a welcome indulgence at most gatherings. I will usually complement a soft cheese with a hard cheese. As a rough guideline, allow a minimum of 2 ounces of cheese per person when serving cheese at the start of a meal, and 3 ounces at the end.
Provide a variety of crackers or fresh slices of crusty bread as accompaniments with fresh, seasonal fruit (grapes are listed here but can be easily replaced with pear or apple) to refresh the palate and complement the cheese.
Hint:
Never serve cheese straight from the fridge. Cold temperatures can make even the tastiest, ripest (and most expensive) cheeses taste bland.
Make sure the cheese has at least one hour to reach room temperature before it is served in order to fully appreciate both its aroma and flavor. And as my dad would say, “Don’t forget the port!”
