Prep Time
What have you got in your pantry? Some left-over candy from the holidays? Some crispy pretzels or crackers from the last game day party? Or how about in your fridge? An open jar of pickles? Some grapes or berries that need to be eaten? These are all perfect ingredients for our Pantry Cheese Board. Create a smorgasboard of tasty treats based on what you've got in the pantry and fridge to compliment the tangy sharp Cabot Seriously Sharp Cheddar.
When you build the board create balance by breaking items into color blocks. Add height or dimension by adding round containers, or keeping ingredients that may flavor items next to them in dishes on the board. Always include a protein, something sweet, something salty and a fruit or vegetable. The recipe below is suggestions, but open the pantry and see what you've got!
