4 ounces goat cheese (or any soft cheese)
8 ounces brie cheese (or any similar creamy cheese)
8 ounces aged cheddar (or any aged cheese)
1 lb grapes (red or green grapes)
3 kiwi (sliced)
1 large orange (sliced)
4 ounces blueberries
4 ounces blackberries
4 ounces raspberries
4 ounces strawberries (slice the tops off)

4 ounces candied walnuts (or candied pecans)
4 tbsp honey (with honeycomb if possible)
3 ounces dried fruit (strawberries, orange slices, etc.)
6 ounces crackers (or crusty bread)

Steps:

  • Choose 3-4 different types of cheese. Cut them into different shapes if needed. We like cubes, triangles, slices, etc.
  • Wash, slice, and chop any fruit you'll be adding to the platter.
  • Add honey, dips, and sauces into small bowls.
  • Add the different cheeses to the platter. Put the cheese in different corners of the platter. Add a cheese knife to each selection and a cheese sign so your flavors don't get mixed.
  • Add in the larger fruit items like grapes first.
  • Then, fill in the empty spaces with your small fruits, nuts, and other things. Finish off your fruit and cheese platter with some garnish, like fresh herbs and edible flowers.
  • Add the crackers on the platter or on a separate plate near.
