Holiday Cheese Board
This easy Holiday Cheese Board takes minutes to assemble, is a beautiful and delicious display of seasonal finger foods and appetizers that will keep everyone satisfied for parties and gatherings. I'm keeping it super simple with store-bought ingredients and almost zero prep.
Servings: 8 servings
Calories: 240kcal
Ingredients
Cheeses (Choose 3, 5, or 7, depending on number of guests)
- Hard cheeses: cheddar swiss, gouda, gruyere, parmesan, etc.
- Soft cheeses: like pastry baked brie, goat cheese, havarti, burrata, etc.
Meats:
- Cured meats like salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, and, sopresatta are good choices
Savory accompaniments:
- Nuts: almonds, candied nuts, cashews, pistachios, or mixed nuts
- Briny or marinated: like olives, dill pickles, pepperoncini, tapenade or bruschetta
Sweet accompaniments:
- Fresh fruit and berries: like grapes, kiwi, mandarin, pomegranate, and persimmons
- Dried fruit: cranberries, apricots, figs, and pineapple
- Sweet spreads: honey, fig preserves, and jams
- Savory dips: mustard, hummus, etc.
Crackers:
- Pita crackers, or whole grain crackers
- Toasted baguettes or mini toasts
Instructions
- Arrange the cheese on a large serving board along with cheese knives and empty containers.
- Then fill the board in with the deli meats, nuts, fruits, spreads, and finger foods. I like to keep the crackers on the edges of the board and fill in the blank spaces with additional nuts and grape clusters. Serve the cheese board at room temperature.
Notes
- Serving: Be sure to keep the ingredients cold if serving for an event where the board will sit out for a longer period of time. Use a marble slab board and refrigerate overnight. This will keep the cheese fresh for longer.
