How to Set Up a Cheese Board in 5 Minutes

By Stacey Freeman Leave a Comment

We are all so busy during the holidays, we need quick and easy solutions. That’s why I want to show you how to set up a cheese board in 5 minutes or less.

A cheese board is a great appetizer to serve at your next holiday party for a couple of reasons. First, they are extremely flexible. You can literally add almost anything you prefer to make the cheese board something you and your guests will love. Also, the variety of choices means that you’ll be able to make all of your guests happy. Finally, a cheese board can be really economical or you can make it a bit more fancy, depending on what products you choose.

As a bit of advice – you don’t actually need a cheese board. I mean, if you have one, the kind that has the utensils inside of it, that’s cool, but it’s not a necessity. You can use any cutting board or wood board. I used this one. I had a set of cheese knives, like these. Although cheese knives are not a requirement, they do look nice. If you don’t have them, smaller knives would also work.

Once you have your board, next you just have to decide which cheeses you’d like to serve. I chose to include three main cheeses – aged cheddar, smoked gouda and brie. You could also include a blue cheese, a Swiss cheese, or any other cheese you prefer.

Besides crackers, which are a must, the rest of your board can be whatever you like. I personally like to include a combination of dried fruit, fresh fruit, spreads – such as hummus and bacon jam, and nuts. The combination of sweet, savory, salty, crunchy, smooth, it all works so well together!

If you’d like to follow my steps for how to set up a cheese board, check out the ingredients I used and watch the quick video. I promise, this will be an appetizer that everyone will like, and it will only take you 5 minutes or less!

How to Set Up a Cheese Board in 5 Minutes or Less

Materials:

Wood Cutting Board or Cheese Board
Cheese Knives

Ingredients:

Smoked Gouda
Brie Round
Aged Cheddar
Mixed Nuts
Dried Apricots
Dried Dates
Bacon Jam
Hummus
Assorted Party Crackers
Fresh Fruit – such as grapes and strawberries

Directions:

Start by placing the cheese first. Space it evenly around the board. I would suggest pre-cutting some of the cheese and then placing a cheese knife in the larger chunks that are uncut. Next, place the spreads in little bowls and place them on the board. Find open spaces, and place the fresh and dried fruit evenly around the board. Lastly, place the crackers in all of the open areas. Serve and enjoy!

#throwback to exactly one year ago...the very begi #throwback to exactly one year ago...the very beginning rumblings of this thing called corona virus. @terrimchugh and @fabeveryday flew into LA for the first ever @thetravelmom weekend in Huntington Beach. We were all so excited. And we had the absolute most amazing weekend. Little did we know the world would shut down a week later. But I’m so beyond grateful for that weekend because it created a bond with these women that has carried me through this past year. Without these dear friends, I’m not sure how I would have coped so well. Thank you @thetravelmom for bringing us all together - counting down the days till we can do it again!

March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, March! I cannot believe it’s already March 1st, and I can’t believe we are at the one year mark of this quarantine life. I honestly miss dressing up for work, like this, so lately I’ve been dressing up in my living room for my zoom work calls.

Honestly, it’s so nice to feel some normalcy, even if there’s no need to be quite so dressed up. The way you dress definitely affects the way you feel, and this monochromatic look makes me feel happy and ready for spring.

Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energ Sometimes you meet someone with a contagious energy that you can’t even describe - it’s that powerful. That’s @meaghanbmurphy ⚡️⚡️.

I met Meaghan two years ago at the @beachesresorts SMOTS conference and I was drawn to her positivity, radiant energy, and could totally relate to her “working mom who wants to have it all” mentality.

The older I get, the more I realize that the people you surround yourself with matters so much. If your Instagram friends or real life friends aren’t helping you to be the best version of yourself, then you might need new friends.

Meaghan continues to inspire me with her new book “Your Fully Charged Life.” If you’re looking for a fun and smart read to help you take back control of your life on your journey to being your best self, this book is for you! You can get yours on Amazon, at Barnes and Nobel, or other book retailers near you. Congrats Meaghan! ⚡️⚡️
