Last Night’s Cheese Plate

June 16, 2009

cheeseplate

Last night’s cheese plate (starting top left and spiraling clockwise): clover honey, sheep’s milk mozzarella, Cabot Hunter’s Cheddar, bing cherries reconstituted in port, Semifreddi baguette, mango chutney, feta, bruder basil, pecans, goat Gouda, crackers, and red grapes. I think I met most of the specifications listed in “A Proper Cheese Plate“


Some surprisingly delightful combinations:

Goat gouda with honey and a pecan
A cracker with feta and mango chutney
Cheddar on a cracker with grapes
Bruder basil on a baguette with port-soaked cherries

    That plate looks PERFECT. Only I’d caramelize the walnuts, and this time not stick my finger into molten liquid sugar :|

    Overall you just gave me a menu for my next wine and cheese picnic!! <3
