The Pickles and Cheese Board

Bring on the crunch! This bright, tangy, textured board is made for pickle lovers. We’ve paired some of our favorite zesty and original pickle creations with four cheeses, from crumbly cheddar to funky Grayson, plus a black pepper cheese and a sweet Alpine. For our pickle selection, we grabbed bites from three different makers. From McClure’s, we chose a classic pickle with a seriously satisfying crunch, and from Trois Petits Cochons, we picked a handful of sweet bite-sized cornichons. For something a little out of the ordinary, we turned to Pacific Pickle Works’ original pickled veggies: brussels sprouts and asparagus spears that have been brined and infused with bright heat and spices. Grab some flavor-loving friends and dig in!

assembly

Step 1

On a round board, place two empty jars side by side in the center.

Step 2

Fill the space in the top right of the board with pickle chunks, and fill the space on the bottom half of the board with cornichons.

Step 3

Arrange the cheeses around the edge of the board, leaving about 1-2 inches between each. Create a shingled line of Rustico triangles to the top right and place the cheddar block and crumbles to the top left. Create a pile of Challerhocker batonettes on the bottom right edge, and shingle the slices of Grayson in the bottom left.

Step 4

Arrange the salami coins to the right of the Rustico triangles.

Step 5

Between the Challerhocker and the Rustico, create a neat pile of Firehook Sea Salt Crackers.

Step 6

Between the cheddar and the Grayson, arrange a pile of Brussizzle Sprouts. Make a neat pile of Asparagusto spears in between the cheddar and the Rustico.

Step 7

Fill the two jars with Murray’s Whole Grain Mustard and V Smiley Jam.
