4 ounces chunk of quality goat cheese

4 ounces chunk of quality brie cheese

4 ounces chunk of quality sheep's milk cheese

2 cups other seasonal fruit (strawberries, pears, plums etc.)

1 cup raw almonds

1 cup dried fruit (Dried cranberries, apricots etc)

1 baguette

2 cups crackers

Preparation

Wash and pat dry fruit. Snip grape bunch into smaller clusters.

Arrange the grapes in the middle of the plate to resemble an in-tact bunch of grapes.

Slice the other fruit and place it around the grapes.

Place cheeses on separate parts of the cheese tray. Leave some cheese whole and provide cheese knives, or thinly slice and provide tongs.

Sprinkle almonds all together on one side of the cheese tray and add the dried fruit to another side.

About

*Allow cheeses to come to room temperature before serving, approximately 25 minutes. This recipe is a guideline for making a cheese tray, feel free to use a variety of cheeses. It's best to offer different varieties of milk cheeses, for example 1 cow, 1 goat, 1 sheet, etc.

*Serve with optional mostarda, fig or quince paste.
*Ideal for a wine tasting party or potluck.
