Easy Cheese Plate Appetizer image

We had this at Brennan's Wine Bar in St. Louis on Saturday night and loved it. Very simple, but I would have never thought to throw this together myself. It's sweet, savory, creamy and crunchy.. .we devoured it in no time flat!

3 ounces sliced drunken goat cheese
3 ounces sliced manchego cheese (may sub any sharp, sturdy white cheese)
20 onion flavored crackers

  • 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.
