Entertaining // How to Build a Cheese Board

Cheeseboards are really nice because they require no cooking and very little prep. It's nice to have a balanced cheese board. This can be accomplished with as little as 3 cheeses. You need something nutty, something creamy and something a little sharp or funky. It's good to scatter about crunchy items as well as sweet and fresh. 

Here's what we did:

1 hunk of guyere (creamy & sweet)

1 hunk of aged gouda (nutty & hard)

1 hunk of feta (the kind from the specialty counter. It's around $8)

Cucumber slices

Pistachios

Dried fruit, etc...

Bread or crackers

Grab your board and place your ingredients about in a way that looks pretty. Throw some cheese knives on there and you have a party.
