Ingredients
  • One wedge of brie
  • Wedge of Roquefort or Stilton
  • wedge of saga blue
  • Havarti
  • Edam or Gouda
  • Piece of Parmesan Reggiano
  • Peppercorn crusted goat cheese
  • Unsalted butter
  • Roasted nuts whole pecans or walnuts
  • Raw radishes, trimmed and washed
  • Sea salt coarse ground
  • Grapes
  • Figs, split. drizzled with honey and toasted chopped pistachio(awesome combo with goat cheese and a honeyed white wine)
  • French bread chunks toasted, or grilled
  • Plain Water Crackers
  • Rye Krisps

Directions
  1. This is the easiest way to fill an appetizer table with irresitable nibbles. Everyone can help themselves to the tastes they like best.
  2. Most importantly is letting the cheese come to room temperature before serving.
  3. Serving different varieties with different textures make a more desirable platter. Aim for one soft, one firm, one sharp, one mild.
  4. You can make it an appetizer course by adding the radish, butter and salt with olives for before dinner.
  5. You can make it an after dinner treat by adding the figs, dried fruit, nuts and honey.
  6. Either way you can easily expand the cheese tasting with a flight of wines. A wine and cheese tasting makes for a great party.
  7. “Wine makes daily living easier, less hurried, with fewer tensions and more tolerance.”
  8. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)
