Many people consider good cheese to be expensive and complicated, but neither of these is necessarily true. In fact, it’s absolutely possible to put together a fancy cheese board using nothing but grocery store items — all you need is some effort and creativity. Here are our best tips to achieve this.
Filling the Board
It doesn’t matter what you have, what matters is how you preset it. You should place the larger items, like cheese slices, first and then fill in the gaps with additional things: almonds, apricots, crackers, etc.
Bread or Crackers?
Crackers traditionally go well with cheese and they come in one-bite size so they are pretty convenient. On the other hand, bread is also a great option, as long as its flavor is not too strong.
Fruits and Nuts
Grocery store cheeses will taste a million times better if you pair them with nuts and dried fruits, so make sure to have a broad selection of these items. We’re sure you have some in the pantry already!
