Directions

SELECT a board or platter large enough to accommodate your cheese board selections.
BRING cheeses to room temperature for about 30 minutes.
PREPARE veggies and fruits by washing, drying and cutting to appropriate sizes for board.
FILL three small ramekins with olives, kimchee and jam or chutney.
SLICE cheese selections into varying shapes, a different shape for each flavor, such as rectangle, triangles, cubes or chunks. If you like, leave one bar only partially sliced. Arrange in groups on your platter or board leaving room in between for the other ingredients.
ARRANGE the prepared vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds in groups around and in between the cheeses paying attention to the contrasting colors and textures. Add the crackers, sliced bread (just before serving) and ramekins around board to make an attractive, bountiful arrangement. Add a cheese knife and small serving utensils for the ramekins as needed.

Recipe Tips

Cheese boards can be made a couple of hours ahead to save time before guests arrive. Just remember to cover the board carefully with plastic wrap, store in refrigerator, and remove 30 minutes prior to use. Slice the fresh bread at the last minute and add to the board.
