Boy howdy, nothing says summer quite like long, lazy afternoons and nights in the garden, surrounded by friends and family. Let me tell you something – forget fussy meals, what you need is my signature Summer Cheese Platter! It’s a melody of heavenly bites that’s as easy to put together as snapping your fingers.
Summon Summer with a Sensational Cheese Platter
Start with a range of cheeses, of course. I’m talking mild, buttery Brie and sharp, robust Cheddar. Oh! And we can’t forget the tangy goat cheese. These all sit pretty like a trio of harmonizing singers, each one holding their key in the flavor profile.
You sprinkle in some heaping handfuls of fresh, tart berries – strawberries, blueberries, maybe some raspberries for good measure. They’ll berry your taste buds with their vibrant zing. Don’t be stingy, folks – more is merrier in this scenario!
Now, the secret to knocking this platter out of the park is variety in texture so bring on the crispy, crunchy crackers. Stick with your classic water crackers or go wild with some fancy fig & olive crispbread. Who knows, you might dance along the thin line between sweet and savory – and that, my dear friends, is where the magic happens.
A quick swig of chilled, crisp wine on the side, and voila! You have a happy mouthful that takes you straight to cloud nine, and summer plate that shouts Oh la la! So, next time the sun decides to show off its blazing glory, you know what to throw together. My Summer Cheese Platter is a feast for your eyes, a treat for your taste buds and bless my stars, it’s the easiest thing you’ll ever make!
Talk about a triple threat, eh? Now that’s what I call, Best Quick Meals!
Let’s Make It!
– Start by selecting a wide platter or wooden board as your canvas.
– Choose a variety of cheeses that offer different textures and flavors. Consider a creamy Brie, a sharp Cheddar, and a tangy goat cheese.
– Arrange these on the platter, spacing them out.
– Now fill the spaces by sprinkling a mix of fresh summer berries like strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries around the cheese.
– Try to include a variety of crackers as well. Water crackers offer a light, crisp contrast, and fig & olive crispbread provide rich flavors that pair well with the cheese and berries.
– Don’t forget to spread them out among the cheese and berries.
– Consider including a few sprigs of fresh herbs like basil or rosemary for a pop of color.
– Lastly, pair the platter with a chilled bottle of your favorite wine. Maybe a crisp white or a fruity rosé.
– Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing, easy-to-make Summer Cheese Platter!
That Was Quick!
