A MUST FOR YOUR HOLIDAY PARTY
Here are the instructions for an elegant and delicious cheese and meat board that is easy to assemble. Serve this at your holiday party and you will make a clear statement of your hospitality and the importance of your guests.
The first thing you should do when creating this cheese tray, is to look closely at the photograph and watch the video. Then, I find it easy to go to a single source for everything you need. In this case, I recommend Trader Joe's, if there's a store near you.
There are no specific rules but some guidelines which should be followed to create this beautiful display of foods for your guests. Number one, is density. Be sure to completely cover your wooden cheese board with your food selection. Number two, is shapes and variety. Use different shapes of crackers, cheese, and meats accented with colors such as jam, fruit, olives, and etc.
Following is a list of items I used for this cheese tray.
Goat cheese, Brie cheese, Blue cheese, and manchego cheese. I used three different kinds of sliced pork. Then, the tray was accented with raspberry jam, gherkin pickles, olives, almonds, and Rosemary Sprigs. I purchased A box of different cracker shapes at Trader Joe's and I made some toast points to accent things even further.
Good Luck! Be sure to watch the video closely!
