Steps:
- Grab your board or preferred serving platter, along with any small bowls (for wet ingredients) and knives or spoons for serving.
- Optional: spread a layer of parchment or wax paper over the board to keep the fats/oils from the meat & cheese from seeping into the wood.
- Slice or cube the meats & cheeses (if needed), then wash & prep the veggies and fruit.
- Arrange all the ingredients on the board, starting with the meats & cheeses, followed by the fruits & veggies, then the wet ingredients in small bowls (olives, dips, sauces, condiments). Fill in any gaps with crackers, sliced bread, nuts and bunches of leafy greens.
- Serve immediately with toothpicks, napkins and/or small plates. Replenish popular ingredients as needed (this almost always happens with crackers).

CHARCUTERIE BOARD IDEAS - THE BEST MEAT AND CHEESE PLATTER
2020-09-23 · 2. Wine and Cheese Pairing: Another important factor when picking cheese for your cheese and meat platter is wine pairing. Similar to the cheese, I try to stick to odd numbers when it comes to types of wine I serve.For my Ultimate Fall Cheese and Meat Platter, I picked Layer Cake Wines’ Shiraz, Malbec, and Chardonnay (but would also recommend their Cabernet Sauvignon).

HOW TO MAKE A MEAT AND CHEESE TRAY - THE ANTHONY KITCHEN
2019-05-20 · When assembling a Meat and Cheese Tray, it is customary to choose three types of cheeses for your platter. However, rather than sticking to rigid cheese platter laws that require selections of cheeses with different textures (firm, semi-firm, soft, etc…) or different milk sources ( e.g. goat, cow or sheep), we suggest sticking with a trio of cheeses you know your guests will enjoy.
