Create a stunning festive holiday cheese board that will impress your guests this Christmas.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces of Brie cheese, cut into wedges
- 6 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
- 4 ounces of goat cheese, crumbled

- 1 cup of sliced apples
- 1 cup of assorted crackers (water crackers, whole grain, etc.)

Instructions
- Start by selecting a large wooden or marble board as your base. Arrange the cheeses on the board, placing the Brie, cheddar, goat cheese, and blue cheese in different sections.
- Fill in the spaces around the cheeses with the mixed nuts, dried cranberries, fresh grapes, and sliced apples.
- Add the assorted crackers in a separate section, fanning them out for easy access.
- Drizzle honey over the goat cheese for a sweet contrast and add fresh rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.
- For an extra pop of color, consider adding a few slices of pear or pomegranate seeds.
- Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Swap out the cheeses for your favorites or include seasonal cheeses like aged gouda or cranberry-infused cheese for a holiday twist.
- Add a small bowl of fig jam or a spicy mustard to complement the cheeses and provide additional flavor options.
