We all love Trader Joe’s right? They can basically convince me to try anything at this point, TBH. With the holidays coming up, and lots of entertaining going on I had to share the ultimate Trader Joe’s cheese board. This is the end all be all of cheese boards. You can make the most insane cheese board using entirely TJ’s ingredients that will seriously wow your friends. Give you all of the deets on how to make this killer cheese board below!
What You Need to Build the Cheese Board
Cheese
Let’s start with the best part, the cheese! There are a ton of amazing cheeses at Trader Joe’s, but I’m listing the creme de la creme here. If you haven’t had these run to your local TJ’s and grab one pronto.
+ Manchego (I grab this cheese every. time. I. go. to. TJ’s)
+ Triple creme brie
+ Creamy toscana soaked in syrah
+ 1000 day gouda (this is actually aged for 1000 days, and delicious)
Meat
I like to add a few meat options onto my cheese board. I typically grab the peppered salami, and fold it into easily grabable pieces. Go for any meats you like!
+ Peppered salami
+ Thinly sliced prosciutto
Crackers
There are tons of cracker options, I like to stick to these favorites, but go for others too!
+ Raisin Rosemary Crisps
+ A French baguette
Fruits, Nuts + Spreads
These are the icing on the cake, if you will. Delicious little additions that everyone will ooo and aaaah over after they’d tried the classics above. I’m including a huge list here, but feel free to pick and choose a few depending on the size of cheese board you’re making. Just don’t pass up the flavored almonds…they’re too good!
+ Rosemary marcona almonds (omg these are heavenly!)
+ Dark chocolate covered almonds
+ Dried apricots
+ Cashews
+ Almonds
+ Fresh grapes
+ Candied pecans
+ Fig butter
+ Honey
+ Fresh rosemary for decoration
Build the Board
Start with the cheese, then add on from there. Next I usually go with the crackers, and meat. Then top of the end with fruits, nuts, and some rosemary for greenery. And voila, so easy and most importantly delish!
