With so many tasty choices, a cheese & fruit board is the perfect way to begin a dinner. The beauty of the cheese board is versatility. Choose 2-3 cheeses you enjoy and fruits that are in season. Round out the board with baguette, crackers, preserves, and nuts.
Get our step-by-step tutorial and ideas for creating your own cheese & fruit board below. This recipe was featured on our Beauty and the Beast Disney dinner.
French Cheese & Fruit Board
Ingredients
- Variety of Cheeses: I like to choose three cheeses of varying textures, flavors, and shapes. For this board we chose brie, herbed chevre, and gruyere.
- Breads & Crackers: Sliced breads, crackers, breadsticks, etc.
- Fresh & Dried Fruits: Berries, Apples, Peaches, Pears, Grapes, Cherries, Dried Apricots, Figs, etc.
- Savories: Roasted Nuts
- Sweets: Preserves, Honey, Dark Chocolate
Instructions
1. Lay out ingredients on a cutting board.
2. Place cheeses on varying sides of the board. Add bowls of spreads such as preserves and honey.
3. Add large clusters of grapes opposite the cheeses.
4. Arrange breads and crackers near the cheeses.
5. Add smaller fruits such as berries, sliced apples, pears & peaches, and dried fruits between the grapes, cheeses, and bread & crackers.
6. Arrange savory roasted nuts and dark chocolate pieces {if desired} on your cheese board. Add a knives near the cheeses and small spoons to spreads.
