Create a stunning and festive cheese board for your Christmas celebrations with a variety of cheeses, fruits, nuts, and crackers that will impress your guests.

  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8-10 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces of Brie cheese, cut into wedges
  • 6 ounces of sharp cheddar cheese, cubed
  • 4 ounces of goat cheese, crumbled
  • 4 ounces of blue cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup of mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • 1 cup of dried cranberries
  • 1 cup of fresh grapes
  • 1 cup of sliced apples
  • 1 cup of assorted crackers (water crackers, whole grain, etc.)
  • 2 tablespoons of honey
  • Fresh rosemary sprigs for garnish

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Fill in the spaces around the cheeses with the mixed nuts, dried cranberries, fresh grapes, and sliced apples.
  3. Add the assorted crackers in a separate section, fanning them out for easy access.
  4. Drizzle honey over the goat cheese for a sweet contrast and add fresh rosemary sprigs for a festive touch.
  5. For an extra pop of color, consider adding a few slices of pear or pomegranate seeds.
  6. 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.
