Ultimate Cheese Platter

Ingredients

  • Fresh fig, lemon, or Galax leaves
  • 1 large bunch seedless green grapes
  • 340g wedge truffled pecorino
  • 450g wedge Stilton blue cheese
  • 340g piece Brie
  • 230g piece herbed goat cheese, such as Fleur Verte
  • Fresh strawberries
  • Dried apricots
  • Fig jam
  • Crackers
  • 1 dried fig ball, halved (optional)

Method

  1. Lay the fig leaves out flat to cover a round board or platter that is 16 to 18 inches across.
  2. Put the bunch of grapes in the middle of the board. Position the cheeses around the grapes, ensuring any cut sides are visible.
  3. Tuck the strawberries in a space between two cheeses to add a bright colour. Do the same with the dried apricots for another colour block. Spoon the fig jam into a small bowl and add it to the arrangement.
  4. Fill any remaining gaps on the board with the crackers. If you are including it, place the halved fig ball on the board with the cut sides facing upwards.
