Ingredients
- 6 ounces chèvre (goat cheese)

- ½ cup marcona almonds
- ¼ cup walnuts
- 1 medium pomegranate, quartered
- ¼ cup dried cranberries
- 1 small honeycomb
- 10 medium cornichons
- 2 tablespoons whole grain mustard
- Baguette, sliced and grilled
- Assorted crackers, as needed
- Rosemary sprigs, for garnish
- Dried citrus, for garnish
Instructions
- Arrange the cheeses on a large cheese board.
- Arrange charcuterie around the cheese.
- Fill in the board with the almonds, walnuts, pomegranates, cranberries and honeycomb.

Notes
You don’t want to serve cheese straight out of the fridge; cheese should be served at room temperature. This allows the flavor of the cheese to shine.
