There really are three main components that make the best cheese board: cheese, meats, and accompaniments. And, the fourth component, is a little element of surprise... Pro-Tip:Remember, there is no right or wrong way to build a cheese board, so be sure to add your favorites and use up what you might have on hand. You can invest in one or two quality cheeses, but the ready sliced cheeses in your grocer's fridge make great fillers. Accompaniments.For me, accompaniments are not just fillers. They're the perfect opportunity to get creative and add interest and beauty to your cheese board. And hey, you can really use up a lot of what you already have on hand!

Our aim is to bring families and friends together with their favourite games, no matter how far away they are. Sweet. With all the cheeses and cured meats, it's important to add a little something sweet on the board. Honey or jam is always a good option, and I like to add some dried fruit: dried apricots or dried figs, for example. How much meat per person? There really is not a hard rule about this, but about 1 to 2 ounces of meat per person should be good. Cheese. What kind and how much? Think variety. Include at least 4 different cheeses on your board from different categories: firm, soft, and semi soft. And start with your favorites. For example, on my cheese board, I added two firm cheeses I love, Parmigiano-Reggianoand aged Cheddar. Both are also sharp in taste, so to balance that, I added a round of mild French brie (soft) and slices of Swiss (semi soft.) When I'm feeling fancy, I dress up my brie with nuts and jam like in this baked brie recipe. When selecting what cheeses to put on your cheese board, it's also good to keep in mind shapes: square, rounds, triangle, sliced. This makes for a more interesting cheese board.

The ball is moved by rolling and tilting your device. Follow the path to earn extra points - or take the shortcut and get your cheese home the easy way. Avoid holes, traps and obstacles.

Meats is the second thing I think about when putting together a cheese board. I like to do about 3 to 4 options of Italian cured meats. Some are more expensive than others, but you can pretty much find what you need in the deli section of your local grocery store. Again, start with your favorites and fill in from there. For me, the must haves are Proscuitto di Parma and some sort of salami.

You play a mouse 🐭, a mouse on the hunt for cheese! The problem: once you've got your giant ball of cheese, you have to roll it home! So we've covered what goes on a cheese board. But how to put all that together so it looks interesting and beautiful? Pro-Tip:Remember that cheese tastes better at room temperature.To arrange this cheese board, I usually allow 1 hour.

Add the meats in about 10 to 20 minutes before serving. Still, it can be overwhelming to think about what all goes on a cheese board, so I've put together a simple guide.

The musts for me are fresh veggies and fruit; they balance things out and also act as palate cleansers. No hard rules on how many veggies and fruits to include, but I like at least one of each. On this cheese board, I used sliced cucumbers, and because pears happen to be in season, they were my fruit choice. I often use grapes as well.
