The Unfussy Cheese Board
A 3-cheese board that doesn't try too hard. Aged cheddar, creamy brie, sharp blue.
Method
Take the brie out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving. (The cheddar and blue can come straight from the fridge.)
Lay the cheeses on the board in a loose triangle: brie in the center, cheddar at 10 o'clock, blue at 2 o'clock.
Tuck the grapes in small clusters between the cheeses — not a single pile, but two or three little groups.
Place the fig jam in a small dish near the brie; place the almonds in a small dish near the cheddar.
Fan the baguette slices at 6 o'clock. Lay the rosemary branch across the top of the board.
Serve at room temperature. Provide a separate knife for each cheese so the flavors don't cross.
Three cheeses. One jam. One nut. One bread. One fruit. Don't crowd it.
