Cheese Board
Cheese Board
I’ve always loved a good Cheese Plate. The mix of Cheeses, Crackers and condiments like Mustards and Jams. Add in some Fruit, Olives and Nuts and now it’s a party! Cheese Boards are great for entertaining whether it’s a crowd of friends and family, made for two or just for yourself.
They are extremely easy to make and require nothing to cook but just to have fun. So try that exotic Jam or prepared Mustard or Vegan Cheese you’ve been eyeing. Cheese Boards can be as fancy or as casual as you like. Any variety of Cheese, Crackers, Fresh and Dried Fruits, Jams, Mustards, Nuts, Olives and Pickles will work.
Serves 2-4 (can easily be adapted to any size crowd, just add additional variety of Cheeses)

1/2 cup Candied Pecans
1 cup Spanish Cocktail Mix (can sub mixed nuts)
