So “cheese plate” does not do this work of art any justice. To create the perfect appetizer board is truly a work of art.
But it doesn’t have to be too stressful. Start your creation by being creative with your choices of meats – get a few kinds: some like spicy, some earthy, while others prefer herby ~ slice them in all forms too: thick, thin, whatever! Same thing applies to the cheeses- mix it up! Get some hard variations, some soft, some spreadable, some bold and some subtle ~ the more varieties the better. Other fixins like olives go a long way. Lastly, think beyond the cracker. Flavored toasties or bread/bread sticks make our hearts flutter. Nuts and dried fruits are a fabulous touch to any platter too.
