The Perfect Fall Cheese Platter

By vealam

Ingredients

• figs, dates, cured meats, crackers, grapes, almonds, quince paste, and olives

Preparation

Step 1

When it comes to the cheese, I usually stick to the classic rules of having a hard, soft, blue, and aged. This time I also added some ricotta which pairs so well with the figs and honey.

Start by placing the cheese in different corners of your board and then fill in the gaps with sliced figs, dates, cured meats, crackers, grapes, almonds, quince paste, and olives. Pick whatever ingredients that are in season and look delicious. I just place all the ingredients directly on the board and some other ingredients in small bowls.

Finally, one of my favorite things I love to add to a cheese platter is a chunk of honey comb. It’s unique and wonderful paired with nuttier cheese or even blue cheese.
