How to make an Instagrammable cheese platter?
I’ll give it to you here since you’re reading.. .
Any time you design a cheese board, remember the concept of “waterfall” or “cascade” 💦this gives flow and order to your board and the eyes know exactly where to go. In turn it makes it all the more aesthetically pleasing. .
Step 1: Start from the top with a mound of grapes or dried fruit.
.
Step 2: then start with the hard cheeses. Align them but keep them in order. Lay the first type down in a fan diagonally under the grapes. Then, shimmy the next cheese on top, and then another on top. Now all the hard cheeses are cascading down.
.
Step 3:
Now fill in the sides with some cubed cheese, crackers, dried fruit or nuts.
.
Step 4:
Put the blue cheese and soft cheeses at the bottom. When cut they may ooze and give a greater affect to your cascade!
.
Notes: To select cheese, get about 3 hard ones, 1 blue and one soft one like brie. I added cubes of cheddar to add more abundance and cube shape to make it interesting. .
