On Friday's, I plan to share some of my tried and true entertaining tips to welcome the weekend
Today, I'm sharing one of my favorite go-to appetizers when playing host: a cheese plate! Here are some simple tips:
1. Start with three to five cheeses differing in texture from soft to hard - this how to achieve a range flavor. The above array features a triple-cream brie (my personal favorite!), a goat cheese and cows-milk cheese.
2. Provide a few carb options, like crackers or french bread.
3. Vary the flavors with something savory or sweet like apples, dried cranberries or honey.
4. Garnish with something salty/crunchy, like sesame sticks or nuts.
Easy-peasy - no need to dirty anything more than a cutting board! Follow the above tips and you're bound to satisfy guests with a variety of palates.
