This Harvest Cheese Board is the perfect spread for a get together! Salty, sweet, and savory flavors create a people-pleasing cheese board.

When I entertain, an epic cheese board is always on the menu. Everyone is always so impressed…but it is seriously the MOST EASY thing to prepare. You just need a little creativity!

Something sweet, something spicy, something salty. You need to have a little bit of everything on the board to please the masses.

On my spread, I used:

• Triple Cream Brie
• Sharp Cheddar with Pumpkin Seeds
• Roquefort
• Honey Chevre
• Toscano dusted with Cinnamon

I like to have a balance between soft and hard cheeses, along with varying flavors. Grocers everywhere have so many different options these days. Explore the cheese section at your grocery store, and pick up what sounds fun, new, and exciting.

In addition to these cheese, I included:

• Apple slices and grapes
• Castelvatrano and kalamata olives
• Fig Spread
• Honey
• Prosciutto, salami, and chorizo

The. Options. Are. Endless.

Naturally, serving this spread with a variety of different wine options would = real entertainer pro. I’d suggest Sauvingnon Blanc, Pinot Noir, and a spicy Malbec.

Not going to lie…I may have been known to serve this as dinner to my closest friends. No judgment. The best part? ZERO complaints.
