All the ingredients you need to build the ultimate cheese plate appetizer.

Parmigiano Reggiano

NUTS

Almonds
Walnuts

Instructions

Take cheese out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes to 1 hour (cheese should be served at room temperature!)
Follow the step-by-step photos in this post to assemble all ingredients on a large cutting board or platter. Enjoy!

Notes

Equipment. I love a nice wooden cutting board for my cheese plates, but use whatever you have on hand! A plastic cutting board or large dinner plate works just fine. Use a few butter spreaders or fun cheese knives to serve.
