Method
Take the cheeses out of the fridge 10 minutes before serving.
Cut the hard2 cheese into cubes, the brie1 into slices, and the blue3 cheese into small chunks.
Wash and pat the grapes6 dry, halving any large clusters.
Arrange the cheeses, grapes6, nuts, and crackers on a platter.
Serve with honey on the side or drizzle lightly over the cheeses.
Tips
- Why it works
- Take the cheeses out ahead of time so they warm up and soften. Cold cheese loses its aroma and breaks when sliced.
- Substitutions
- Replace the grapes with pitted dried apricots (30 g). Use pine nuts (10 g) or almonds (12 g) instead of the other nuts.
- Common mistakes
- If you don't dry the grapes, they'll be slippery and smear across the plate. Check that no drops are left on the surface.
- Storing and reheating
- Keep in a closed container in the fridge for no more than 2 days. The cheeses and nuts stay fresh, but the grapes turn soft.
- Serve with
- Serve with dry wine or champagne at the New Year table, when you need something light and festive.
