The holidays are around the corner. If you are expecting guests over for dinner, there is nothing more simple than creating a cheese plate. Cheese plates can be paired with a variety of different sides and ingredients. Dry fruit like apricots, cranberries pair well, especially with nuts such as almonds.
You can also go for the savory cheese plate, with some nuts, sopressata and olives.
Two of my favorite cheeses are midnight moon, which is a hard goat cheese and Lamb Chopper, sheep cheese aged about 3-6 months. I prefer to add a soft cheese to the plate, to mix it up a little. The first cheese plate is shown without the sliced apple, the second is with a sliced apple. The Lamb Chopper cheese pairs really well with a green apple. I try to add different ingredients to the plate for people to try with each cheese. It's best to use sliced french bread, plain crostini or plain crackers. You don't want the crackers to take away from the taste of the cheese.
Oh, and don't forget to grab a bottle of wine to go with the cheese.
