What You’ll Need
Three Types of Cheese One round cheese cut into triangles (brie, borgonzola, or camembert are great options), one goat cheese (you can buy flavored ones or use homemade), and one sharp white cheddar (we used a cranberry white cheddar).
Cookies and Candies Use any sweet treats you like - we used cookies, macaroons, and butter cookies.
Fresh Fruit Use any seasonal fruits you like. Fresh berries are always a hit!
Honey We used a lemon curd mixed with honey for a bit of flare.
Jam Use your favorite jam, we used a sour cranberry jam.
Nuts Almonds or cashews are great options!
Rosemary Sprigs The rosemary sprigs are essential, we used about fifty sprigs.
Two Trays You will need two circular trays, one large and one small.
Instructions
Step One: Lay out the large round tray and arrange the rosemary sprigs along the edge, place the small board in the center.
Step Two: Place the bowls of honey and jellies on the tray and arrange the cheese, fruits, and sweets around them. The key when building a cheese board is to not arrange everything perfectly or in straight lines. Fill in any gaps with nuts and dried fruits.
Refrigerate until 30 minutes before you are ready to serve and enjoy the party!
