Instructions
For these easy cheesy cheese boards, the size is totally up to you! They're oh so easy to customize depending on the amount of people you're serving. The measurements above save about 8, but you can easily make your cheese board smaller or larger to serve your crew. Estimate approx. 2 oz cheese per person.
I usually add a combination of cheese slices (perfect for serving on top of crackers) and cubes (hello easy snacking!) and sometimes I'll even get fancy by cutting out fun shapes with a cookie cutter.
Surround your cheese with an assortment of crackers, fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and any other extras your heart desires! See the list for more ideas and feel free to get creative with it! Anything goes when it comes to cheese boards!
Making your cheese board in advance? Go for it! I like to slice then tightly wrap cheeses to keep them fresh. Keep the cheese stored in the fridge until you need it.
The most time sensitive thing you'll add to this cheese board is the apples. They're best sliced right before setting out your cheese board. Sometimes I'll brush my apple slices with fresh lemon juice to keep them extra fresh and prevent browning.
