A meat and cheese board is the perfect appetizer for any occasion. You can make it fancy or simple, but make sure to have fun with it! I am by no means an expert at these, but I thought it’d be fun to share my meat and cheese board that I make for friends and family!
Tips and tricks:
Buy a few different meats and cheeses (with different textures, heaviness, etc.) I like to cut some of the cheese into slices and leave some of them in tact, serving with a knife. I also like to roll up the prosciutto and fold the salami in half and then half again and stack them. I use the fruit and herbs to add color to the board. I use nuts to add something crunchy and some fig spread to add something sweet!
A couple ingredients I love for a meat and cheese board:
crackers:
- Milton's gluten free baked crackers
- Sesmark gluten free sesame rice thins
- Simple Mills almond flour crackers
meat:
- prosciutto
- salami (fun to try many different types)
cheese:
- brie
- various cheddars
- gruyere
fruit:
- green grapes
- Fuji or Honey-crisp apples
- raspberries
- greek olives
nuts:
- candied pecans
- rosement almonds
decorative additions:
- rosemary, or any herb of your choosing
These are just a few ingredients, but you can really use anything. Just have fun with it and enjoy!
