When coming up with our 2021 Valentine’s Day Menu, we admit , we were feeling a bit indulgent. We know that most couples will be spending Valentine’s Day in their own homes this year, so we wanted a meal that felt decadent and different than just an average weeknight dinner. We are starting our menu with the appetizer course, a cheese board for two. The best part of this cheese board is that the ingredients fit seamlessly to be an appetizer or a dessert board depending on your preferences. As with all cheese boards, you can mix this up however you like, and we encourage you to use ingredients you already have at home. As an appetizer, we recommend more savory ingredients like bacon jam and mixed nuts. For dessert, you can incorporate chocolate, candies and any other sweet treats you crave.
Valentine's Day Cheese Board
The perfect appetizer or dessert cheese board for two!
Ingredients
- 1 small brie wheel
- 1 brick sharp white cheddar cheese
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup raspberry or strawberry jelly
- grapes
- strawberries
- raspberries
- blueberries
- peanuts
- chocolate chips
Directions
- Prepare the cheese. Using a heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out a heart in the center of the brie wheel. Discard the heart (by eating in while you prepare the board) and place the brie in the center of your cheese board. Cut out “I” and “U” shaped letters from the cheddar cheese brick. Place them on each side of the brie wheel.
- Assemble the cheese board. Surround the I ❤ U with the grapes, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, peanuts and chocolate. We like to have a mix of the foods all over the board to have a range of color and texture throughout. Be sure to incorporate the snacks you like and enjoy with your loved ones!
