Let's say we went to a party together, and I was missing, the first place to look is where the cheese platter is sitting. I love cheese! The buttery cubes of goodness, combined with something sweet. There was a time, I hated cheese. Like the time in kindergarten when I was forced to eat my grilled cheese sandwich, before I went back to class. Tears streamed down my face. I laugh at the memory now, but that day made me a
little unhappy. Many years later, the love affair with cheese started. And then whenever there was a holiday or special day, a cheese platter was made, this one was one of my favorites!
On the plate, going clockwise starting at the green apple slices, we have brie, cooked bacon pieces, smoked Gouda, peanut brittle, blue cheese, Jarlsberg, a little bit of walnuts followed by the center of raw pistachios nuts and fig marmalade. All served with a big loaf of your favorite crusty bread and quick and easy homemade butter (April 16ths' post) There are so many possibilities of flavor combinations here...All creamy, sometimes salty and sweet...
- apple slice + brie + bacon
- bread + brie + pistachios + fig marmalade
- Jarlsberg + bacon
- bread + butter + fig marmalade
- bacon + blue cheese + walnuts
- apple slice + blue cheese + peanut brittle
- bread + butter + smoked Gouda

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! :)
