Looking for an easy appetizer to bring to your next summer potluck or event? Cheese boards are great because they are quick, aesthetically pleasing, and everyone enjoys one. For those that do not really cook (me) it’s a done deal. Follow the steps below on how to make the perfect summer cheese board!
Step 1: The Cheese
First step is to pick two cheeses to feature on your cheese board. These can really be any two types of cheese that you fancy, however I picked softened brie and Boursin’s Basil and Chive for mine. Assemble the two cheeses on opposite corners of each other.
Step 2: The Meat
Next up: meat. Assemble hard salmi going down the board, from one corner to another. This should go in between the two cheeses to make a nice wave. It really adds an aesthetic flare!
Step 3: The Fruit
The perfect summer cheese board wouldn’t be complete without some nice summer fruit! Split apart blackberries and strawberries on each side of the board. You can either cut up the strawberries or keep them whole like I did.
Step 4: The Nuts
To add some nutty flavor, add in salted or non salted almonds where you still have empty spots. Almonds are great paired with brie, and really any type of cheese, for some extra flavor.
Step 5: Decorations
You now have all the edible ingredients added on your cheese board. Adding decorations, such as fake or real flowers, gives the last touch to an already aesthetically-pleasing presentation!
Cheese Board Tips
- Present using a cutting board or pizza tray.
- Use Crunchmaster crackers to serve with your cheese board. They’re the best.
- Have honey on the side in case someone wants to add it to their plate.
- Tupperware the leftovers for at-home or at-work snacking later!
