Instructions

  • Choose 3-4 different types of cheese. Cut them into different shapes if needed. We like cubes, triangles, slices, etc. 
  • Wash, slice, and chop any fruit you’ll be adding to the platter.
  • Add honey, dips, and sauces into small bowls.
  • Add the different cheeses to the platter. Put the cheese in different corners of the platter. Add a cheese knife to each selection and a cheese sign so your flavors don’t get mixed.
