Cheese Plate

A Cheese Plate is an awesome thing to make for many occasions. If you have company coming over or if you have to bring something to a party. It is especially good for those of you who are not great cooks or are just short on time. For this post I'm going to give you more of a how to than a recipe.

All you need to start is a cutting board of some kind. If you don't have one that will work, a large plate will do just fine. Go to the gourmet cheese section at your local grocery store and pick out 2-4 cheeses that you really like. Next pick out a sliced meat or two, we used peppered hard salami. You can always skip the meat to make it vegetarian. Then the rest is really up to you. You can add different kinds of crackers, nuts and sliced fruits. Apples and strawberries always go great with any kind of cheese. Here we added quince paste which is delicious with meats and cheeses. Grab a bottle or two of your favorite white or red wine and you are well on your way to the makings of a great party or just a quiet night in. I can assure you that what ever you choose to use on your cheese plate it will be a big crowd pleaser and is something that is almost impossible to mess up! Good luck and once again give us your feed back. We love hearing from all of you!
