Description

All the ingredients you need to build the ultimate cheese plate appetizer.


Ingredients

Use this list as a general guide - these are the ingredients we used to build this exact cheese plate, but don't be afraid to mix it up using your favorite snacks and cheeses or anything you have on hand!

CHEESES

NUTS

  • Almonds
  • Walnuts

CRACKERS & CROSTINI

MEATS & CHARCUTERIE

  • Sliced salami
  • Sliced soppressata
  • Prosciutto

OTHER ACCOMPANIMENTS

  • Black & Green olives
  • Honey
  • Flakey Sea Salt (we used Maldon Salt here!)
  • Red Grapes
  • Fresh arugula, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Take cheese out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour (cheese should be served at room temperature!)
  2. Follow the step-by-step photos in this post to assemble all ingredients on a large cutting board or platter. Enjoy!

Notes

Equipment. I love a nice wooden cutting board for my cheese plates, but use whatever you have on hand! A plastic cutting board or large dinner plate works just fine. Use a few butter spreaders or fun cheese knives to serve.
