Cheese Board Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Bake the Bread

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the Italian herb bread on a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until crusty and golden brown.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Giardiniera

    In a bowl, combine assorted pickled vegetables to create your house-made giardiniera. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes before serving.

  3. 3

    Mix Herbed Olive Oil

    In a small bowl, mix olive oil with your choice of herbs (such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano). Let it sit for at least 15 minutes for the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Arrange the Cheese Board

    On a large wooden board, arrange the three types of cheese, slices of warm herb bread, a cup of giardiniera, the herbed olive oil, and a selection of the fine olives in small bowls.
