Valentine's Day Cheeseboard

Serves 6

Ingredients

• 8 oz. aged gouda (I used Trader Joe's 1000 Day Gouda)
• 8 oz. brie (I used Trader Joe's Light Brie)
• 8 oz. goat cheese (I used Silver Goat Chèvre - Garlic & Herb)
• 1 french baguette
• 1 box of Trader Joe's Fig & Olive Crisps
• Red or green grapes
• 1/4 cup fig jam (I used Trader Joe's Fig Butter)
• 1/4 cup whole grain mustard
• 1/2 cup roasted almonds

Optional Add-Ons

• Sliced apples
• Dried fruits
• Other nuts such as cashews, pecans, walnuts
• Meats such as sopressata, prosciutto, or a paté
• Wine!
  • If you prefer white, try a Riesling or a Pinot Grigio
  • If you prefer red, try a Petite Sirah or a Cabernet Sauvignon (my favorite!)

Directions

1. Slice the gouda into bite-sized pieces.
2. Arrange everything on a large wooden cutting board or serving platter and serve with a few small spreaders. Turn on some music, pour some wine, and enjoy with your boo! Happy Valentine's Day!
