CHEESE PLATE APPETIZERS RECIPES

Steps:

• Get out a nice square platter and 2 small bowls (which fit on the platter).
• Place goat cheese fanned out in one corner.
• Fan the manchego out on the opposite corner.
• Place jam/preserves in one bowl and place in an empty corner of the plate.
• Then mix the seeds together in the remaining bowl and place in the opposite corner.
• Feel free to garnish the plate with fresh berries and mint if you have some.
• Place crackers on another plate and serve!
• Guests will take 1 cracker, put 1 piece of cheese on it, spread a small amt of jam on the cheese and top with a small sprinkling of the seed. DELISH! (NOTE: You can also serve them on a platter already made up in this manner).

Steps:

• Prepare a large plate or a tray, at least 16 inches in diameter.
• Cut out the turkey head, body and feet from the cheddar cheese slice and arrange on the bottom of the tray as shown on the picture. Add the chocolate chips for the eyes. Cut out the small triangle for the beak out of the Swiss cheese and add to the turkey head. Cut out of the small stripe for the beard from the salami slice and add to the turkey head.
• If your cheese slices are large size, cut them into quarters.
• Arrange the Salami slices around the turkey head and body as shown on the picture. The Salami slices should partially go under the turkey and should overlap each other.
• Arrange the Swiss cheese slices in an overlapping manner around the turkey, and have them partially go under the Salami slices as shown on the picture.
• Arrange another layer of Salami slices to go partially under the Swiss slices and overlap each other.
• Arrange the Cheddar cheese slices around Salami, to go partially under the Salami slices and overlap each other.
• Arrange the Ritz crackers around the Cheddar cheese slices, putting them partially under the Cheddar cheese as shown on the picture.
