Recipe Tips
- Cheese Tip
For best flavor, let the cheeses sit for about 15 min. at room temperature before serving. If serving a wedge or whole piece of cheese, be sure to place a knife on the board for each variety of cheese you are serving. - Make it Easy
A small cheese board such as this one, is a good way to use up those small left-over pieces of cheese, or few slices of meat, that you already have on hand. Keep it simple; mix and match cheeses, meats and dip. Try Swiss or Gouda cheese. Substitute fruits and cut-up vegetables, depending on your family's preference.
