Thanks for not only showing how to build a cheese board, but also providing some instruction on composition of the ingredients once you have assembled the board. Liked seeing what cracker/bread goes with the cheese as well as the finishing touches.
Just one tiny thought. A few years ago a cheesemonger taught me to snip the grapes into small bunches. Nothing is worse then watching people play tug of war with your grapes. Looks exactly the same but its a small step to help your guests.
So a lot of people can't afford to do a big cheese plate, so here's my tips for it! buy a few cheeses, whatever kinds you like, try to do a soft cheese, a harder cheese, and a salty cheese that's in between. you can add others if you have the budget for it. I've noticed cheeses are around 5-6 bucks where I live so this would set me back about 18 bucks. then id go to Walmart and get a loaf of French bread. It's about a dollar and you get plenty of bread. you could buy pretzels or crackers as well and I'd go to somewhere like Aldi's and it would set you back about 2 dollars. I can usually find grapes for 3 bucks at Aldi's but I'd pretty much get whatever fruit is cheap and in season at the time. so apples would work as well. Then one day when you're planning dinner, go somewhere like kfc or Lee's. they usually have an area inside with honey and jelly and stuff like that for biscuits. Take a bunch with you in your bag, or go to a place that sells the meats and cheeses and buy one fancy jelly. also utilize stuff you may already have at home. so fancy mustards, jams, etc. It'll be expensive but not as expensive. lol
Dear Beth, I'm not going to lie, I've never been a fan of cheese or boards. But, after viewing this video, you have changed my perspective of it. This changed my life completely. Thank you Beth.
Thank you Beth for sharing! This is amazing! Cheese platter at my house is so crowd-pleasing! Adults love to savour cheeses and grapes with wine pairings accordingly. Kids love stilton and apple jam combination. Blue cheese shortbreads disappear in minutes! I really recommend everyone to lay out a cheese board this year, so easy to do and the greatest thing is everyone get a chance to go around and meet, greet, have fun, embrace the holiday atmosphere while enjoying the food happily. Have a great Thanksgiving everyone!
Hey Beth, this may sound weird, but you have to try it! Take a spiced cookie like gingerbread or ginger snaps and put on some strong blue cheese like a Roquefort or a bleu d'auvergne. It is so out of this world delicious!
Thank you so much, I have never made one and am asked to bring one to a function this weekend. So I searched on tube and decided to open your video, the best thing I could do... brilliant video, and so fresh and clear presentation style..
Beth I absolutely love this idea! Its really rustic and lets you customize it to your liking. I also love how you always thouroghly explain everything and present it beautifully. Oh and can you please make a video on how you store your cutting boards, baking dishes, e.t.c? Thanks, love your recipes!
I am new to selecting the right cheese and putting together a cheese board. Thank you so much, Beth! You just taught me how to do that. Happy New Year!
I absolutely love your channel. I've been watching for a while. I "borrowed" so many of your ideas for parties I would throw while I was in the military. Lets just say we all got an amazing taste of being at home while away. Thanks for an amazing channel, and another awesome idea! From me and troops of the USAF!!
One of my favorite flavor combinations with Brie is sweet hot mustard (a spicy honey mustard) and a thin slice of fresh green apple. It's a weird combination but it's delicious!
I posted this in Delicious Dish when you first put this video out. Today, I posted it yet again because this is the perfect time for such a thing! Thanks, Dear....and HAPPY HOLIDAYS / Merry Christmas! xoxo
This cheese board would go over so well at my little Christmas gathering! I'm having family over but my apartment is way too tiny to host a full meal. But some lovely cheeses, fruits and spreads, tasty crackers... That would work! Thank you for the idea!
I also like incorporating a little cream cheese onto my tray. A pitted date, stuff it with cream cheese and top it with a pecan. Heaven. The pepper jelly is also great with cream cheese.
Thanks so much. I really appreciate your suggestions on the combinations, very helpful. I'm just learning about cheese trays, and how to put them together.
Great tips, Beth! I really like your recommendations for flavour combinations. We like to make mini cheese grape (or olive) skewers with some sort of hard cheese, cut into cubes. It looks pretty too!
I love my cheese and crackers with miracle whip, ketchup, soy sauce, pickles, peanut butter, tabasco sauce, soy milk, ham, tuna and gargonzola cheese! It's best with extra salt, pepper, ginger and Red Devil hot sauce! Add a little chow mein on the crackers and it's amazing!
👍Lovely. 😍 I found that it’s a good idea to separate the grapes into small single or small bunches so guests aren’t touching the whole bunch just to eat a few. I make charcuterie and cheese boards all of the time. I got it from my mom who entertained a lot and used to make them all of the time when I was a kid. Thanks! 💞
Oh gosh, first I misunderstood fig jam as 'fake jam'. Almost hurt my brain trying to figure out what that was, lol! Btw, nice idea! But can you suggest some other salty cheese instead of the blue? I'm not particularly a fan of it.
Beth, your Cheese Board not only is delicious, it´s elegant and so pretty too. I love all these combinations mixing flavours. I´ve found fresh cranberries the other day and i will make cranberry sauce, so i need ideas for leftovers. I wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving! Greetings from Spain. Patricia.
Mmmm, olive bread with cheese - wonderful! White Stilton with apricots is nice but I prefer a proper Stilton. Love the visual appeal of the board, Beth. A nice chutney would be lovely with that lot :-)
Beth, this is a beautiful video, thanks for these really awesome ideas! As a cheese lover, I truly appreciate them) Could you share your recipe for the pepper jelly, please? :)
Hi Beth! thanks for another wonderful video. I have a question. I've tried brie in the past, but it was a little messy. Is it served chilled or at room temperature? If it's room temperature, is there a time limit? Thanks!
Thanks for not only showing how to build a cheese board, but also providing some instruction on composition of the ingredients once you have assembled the board. Liked seeing what cracker/bread goes with the cheese as well as the finishing touches.
So glad it was helpful! :)
I loved this video. You made it so easy. I can’t wait to put together my own cheese board.
The best cheese board tutorial!

Oh I LOVE that idea!! So true!! Ha! TFS :)
😂😂😂😂😂😂Great tip!
My mom always did that with the grapes on the counter so it didn’t look so leggy
That's what I learned from a friend.
Or you can be really posh and leave out a pair of grape scissors. Yes there's such a thing!

So right on Ashley I also add a little beef jerky to my platter who does like beef jerky and its cheap and looks appetizing in a pretty platter👍
Goat thank you

Felisha try manchego cheese!
Felisha 😂😂😂 i heard that the same..
Me ttoooo
Felisha Try a 12 year old cheddar ( or older if the budget allows) ...Hooks is a well known artisan Cheesemaker in Dodgeville, WI.
So perfect ❤️
Wonderful content !!
Thnx for your great ideas
Lovely presentation
So glad you enjoyed it! :)
Beth, your Cheese Board not only is delicious, it´s elegant and so pretty too.

I´ve found fresh cranberries the other day and i will make cranberry sauce, so i need ideas for leftovers.
I wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving!
Greetings from Spain.
Patricia.
Patricia G.G. Oh perfect! You'll love the cranberry sauce muffins :) Coming up on Friday! Stay tuned!
Love this video! It's a great cheat sheet for making my own :)
Awesome video....v.well explained
So glad you enjoyed it! :) Such an easy way to entertain!
Love this! Cheese boards are always one of my go to appetizers. :D
When you say cheese it reminds me of how much I like the sound of that word lol
Very nice Beth! :)
Mmmm, olive bread with cheese - wonderful! White Stilton with apricots is nice but I prefer a proper Stilton. Love the visual appeal of the board, Beth. A nice chutney would be lovely with that lot :-)
fantastic ideas! thank you !
Beautiful
Oh my word I´m hungry after seeing this video! love pepper jelly! A perfect cheese board :-)
Thank you 🙏🏾
Perfection!
Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for your nice ideas and recipies. With
I enjoy watching your videos. Discovered them recently. How do you stay so slim with such good food? : D
Ha! Frequent yoga and treadmill :) does the trick!
Beth, this is a beautiful video, thanks for these really awesome ideas! As a cheese lover, I truly appreciate them) Could you share your recipe for the pepper jelly, please? :)
Mmm I love Brie is my favourite this looks so good
Simple and nice
Thanks this was great!☺️
Awesome!!!
Helpful!
Excellent!!!
Such a great video! Any suggestions pairing with smoked fish? Thanks, Beth!
Hi, where did you purchase the small white serving dishes with the spoons for the spreads?
Thanks
Oh sure I got the dishes at Crate and Barrel a few years ago, and the spoons are actually little espresso spoons I found in France :)
Reminds me of Jerusha from Superstore
I couldn’t create this before eating it all before it was even created lol 😂
what other fruits i can use
+Khansa Lamkhantar oh sure you can use figs, dates, apples or pears too! :) All would be great
Hi Beth! thanks for another wonderful video. I have a question. I've tried brie in the past, but it was a little messy. Is it served chilled or at room temperature? If it's room temperature, is there a time limit? Thanks!
Tonya Gordon Room temperature is best and I would say not to leave out more than an hour or so :)
I use a slate board, that not only looks nice but it gives me the option to write with chalk on the slate so as to identify each cheese.
Oh yes love that idea! ❤️
I love it! Can you please make praline candy? I've tried a bunch of recipes and I cannot seem to get it.
What cheese would you suggest if instead of blue cheese? I have a guest allergic to blue cheese.
Hey Beth I will definitely try out the recipe!!! Is cheddar cheese,and mozzarella a good cheese to use???
jassie duckett Oh sure! Those would be great too :) Enjoy!
Can i use Kraft singles?
Thanks Beth
You bet! Hope it was helpful :)
great idea!
Franciska Grgić I expect this for Christmas! :D Kaja Grgić
