The post The Perfect Cheese Board: Tips and Recipes appeared first on falafelandcaviar.com.
]]>The key to a successful cheese board is variety. Select a range of cheeses that differ in texture, flavor, and intensity. A good rule of thumb is to include one soft cheese, one semi-hard cheese, and one hard cheese. Some examples include brie, cheddar, and gouda.
Once you have your cheese selection, it’s time to think about the accompaniments. Fresh or dried fruits, nuts, crackers, or bread, and spreads such as honey or jam are great additions. Make sure to choose accompaniments that complement the flavors of your cheese selection.
Now that you have your cheese and accompaniments, it’s time to present them in an aesthetically pleasing way. Arrange your cheeses on a large board or platter, starting with the softest cheese in the center and working your way outwards. Add the accompaniments around the cheese, placing items such as nuts and fruits in small bowls.
Cheese boards are meant to be shared, so encourage your guests to try a little of everything. Offer a variety of utensils, such as knives and spoons, for easy serving. To make things even more fun, suggest wine or beer pairings to enhance the flavors of the cheese and accompaniments.
Don’t let any leftovers go to waste! Use any remaining cheese to make delicious mac and cheese or cheesy bread. Fruits and nuts can be added to salads or granola, and spreads can be used as a topping for toast or as a marinade for meat.

]]>If we had to pick the most popular dish to emerge on TikTok, baked feta pasta would certainly be a part of the conversation. Made with cherry tomatoes and feta, it’s one of the most popular dishes you can make with this tasty cheese.
Cheese boards have been going strong for quite some time, and they’re not going anywhere. The more tasty cheese variations you carefully arrange on your board, the better it’s going to be—and no good cheese board is complete without some refreshing feta.
Feta can be used to make all sorts of different salads to the next level, and some of them do a great job mixing sweet and savory ingredients. That happens to be the case with watermelon feta salad—one of the most popular feta dishes that you’ll stumble upon on Instagram.

]]>You want your cheese board to be perfect, but yet look effortless. In order to achieve this, you should first lay all the larger pieces, like cheese slices, and then fill in the blanks with things like almonds and apricots.
You can pick between the two or serve both; bread and crackers pair well with cheeses, as long as they don’t have a too strong flavor.
You can elevate any cheese by combining it with an unexpected flavor. Nuts and dried fruits are great options for this, but you can also use mustard, honey, herbs, etc.

]]>When you pick the cheeses for your cheeseboard, keep in mind that you should have somewhat of a safe option that you know everyone will like, such as cheddar. But, once you have that, you can go with more adventurous cheese like goat cheese, sheep’s milk cheese, or whatever you like.
It’s always nice to have some sort of fruit on a cheeseboard because everything else is usually very salty, so the fruit brings some relief to it. You can stick with the classic selection of grapes, or use seasonal berries, or citrus!
If you aren’t vegetarian, it’s fun to add in some charcuterie or dried meats to the board as well. When you pick your meat, go for things that have different levels of spiciness, texture, and taste. If you’re going to use something like prosciutto, make sure you fold them up so guests can easily take it instead of clumsily taking a long piece of meat.
