Notes
- Serve Cheeses Room Temperature: For the best flavor and textures, serve (especially soft cheese) cheese at room temperature.
- Start With Larger Items First: I like to place my small bowls on the board first. I usually start with 3 bowls depending on the size of my board.
- Be Willing To Edit: You might need to edit it down so you can include everything you want to. You can always place extra crackers on a platter next to your grazing board.
- Make A Few Different Boards: One idea is to make a veggie board (vegetable charcuterie board), fruit board, and a cheese board and serve them all next to each other. Then you have room for more items and it’s like a buffet.
- Vegetarian Cheese Board For Kids: Make your vegetarian grazing board kid-friendly by adding mild cheeses and fun dips! Adding some cut up veggies and tasty dips are a great way to get some more healthy produce into your kids.
- Vegetarian Cheese Board For Adults: Or maybe your vegetarian board is more for adults and is served with wine, cheeses with a little funk, and maybe some spicy elements like pickled peppers. A simple charcuterie board can be a great easy appetizer.
- Nutritional Information includes all optional ingredients. Nutrition values are an estimate as it depends on the amount and types of ingredients you choose for this cheese board.
