If I could drop everything and go down one career path right now I would be a Cheese Platter Connoisseur. I’ve been on such a cheeseboard kick lately it’s ridiculous.
My grandpa had some guests over a few weeks ago so I whipped out a cheese platter. My cousin finished a hard exam and I whipped out another one.
I love entertaining, celebrating the little things, and cheese so the obvious combination of these three loves is a cheese plate. Right?
Absolutely.
I don’t know if cheese plates have always been a trendy thing, but lately, I’ve been seeing them everywhere. From my favorite influencers making them for their Friendsgiving festivities to entire cheese board Instagram accounts, they’re wherever I look. So instead of running away from the trendy, I’ve been leaning in.
If you’re into them too I inspire you to check out the Instagram account called “Cheese by Numbers.” They walk you through the creation of different types of plates, from fruity to salty to sporty to girly, they’ve got it all. While I’m sure there are rules on what cheese to pair with what fruits or crackers or nuts or whatever, I kind of just make them however I want. Sometimes I do it by color, sometimes I do it by what I have in the pantry. There’s really no wrong way to make one and I think that’s what I love about them most.
Here are a few pictures I snapped of the one I made for my cousin.
We demolished it embarrassingly quickly.
Thanks for reading!
