I
can't tell you how many times I have been saved by throwing together a
quick cheeseboard at the last moment. Equally at home at a formal affair
or a night of sports tv with the guys, allow me to share just a few of
the many virtues of this ancient rustic spread.
- It keeps people occupied if dinner is taking longer than expected to prepare.
- If you have surprise guests, it helps the main meal stretch further by acting as a filling appetizer.
- It's quite easy to keep the makings of a cheeseboard on hand all the time. Some ideas might include: at couple varieties of cheese, simple crackers, nuts, bread, spicy meats, dried and fresh fruit, veggies, apple butter, jam, chocolate...
- Everyone loves a good cheeseboard and can find something on it they can eat - even people with allergies and/or special diets.
- There's hardly any prep involved - especially if you buy pre-sliced/pre-cubed cheese, or just place a knife beside the wedge and let people slice their own.
Besides entertaining, a cheeseboard is also a delicious and simple option to take on a picnic, road trip, or plane ride!
Do you enjoy cheeseboards? What are some of your favorite ingredients to include?
