all of the above sounds good, but i tend to put out fresh fruits. apples, grapes, strawberries. . . it adds a touch of sweetness for me. and seems to work well with the cheese and some wine
Yeah, I only do cheese plates when my nephews visit cause they like me are cheese-heads but I never actually get to even put the cheese on the plate before they've devoured it and the bread
or crackers.
Depending on what the cheese plate is intended for. If it's dessert then fruit and nuts. If it's for breakfast, then mini croissants, crackers, jams and jellies. Last but not least, if it's
for a snack or appetizer, cherry (grape) tomatoes, olives, charcuterie, boiled eggs, crackers/crostini.
Depends, definitely crackers, then depending on the cheese and the season: Dried Fruit, fresh fruit, honey, fig chutney, nuts, dates. Then Olives is a separate bowl
All of the above, except the jams and jellies. But if the plate gets too crowded...I'm throwing everything off for the cheese. The more cheese, the better. love, love, love cheese.
I LOVE CHEESE PLATES. I make them all the time. I either go sweet or savory for them.
Let me say, I am notorious for mixing things that should not be mixed.
I did a cheese plate last week with triple cream brie, lemon curd, thick bacon pieces, raisin bread toast points and sweet/spicy pecans.
My roommate and I shared one on the weekend with kalamata, & almond stuffed green, olives, water crackers, jarlsberg, brie, blueberry jam and dried tart cherries.
I can see I'm going overboard here, but I like this poll.
Always a few types of grapes -- champagne grapes if I can find them and then red or green grapes. Sometimes cut up apples or pears. Bread and crackers on the side, as I usually have some kind
of traditional Italian antipasto plate as well. That includes any combo of: provolone, fresh mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, olives, roasted peppers, marinated artichokes,
crostini, and olive-oil packed tuna. Really depends on how big of a "do" we're having and how many people, as well as what I've got on hand -- I *always* have olives, roasted peppers,
marinated artichokes on hand!
i usually limit my food on a cheese plate to cheese and crackers or bread of some type. i feel like anything else just makes it more than just a cheese plate

All of the above!! Less is more, except when more is more.
1Prosciutto and, sometimes, carpaccio.
2actually, if there was a choice of all of the obove, i would have picked it!!!
3fresh baguette, olives, tomato, figs, nuts, grapes, and sometimes a few meats..
4I usually serve nuts separately in a bowl and put crostini and fruit on the cheese plate,
5Well, I would add fruit, basil, crackers, and olive oil. To me that sounds good.
6probably all of the above though it would depend what i'm in the mood for. my all time favorite is sliced pear w/porte salute!

12mmm..chutney.
13Oh indie, you and your chutney
14I voted for olives because it's my top choice. I also love crackers, preferably specialty.

16Mmm...olives.
Speaking of cheese, I just had some Havarti. Delish!
17I adore fruit and cheese. Grapes, apples, and pears are my favorite fruits to couple with cheese. I groove on the sweet/salty contrast!
18fruit to cleanse the palate~ usually just grapes and apples, I like globe grapes and pink lady apples myself.
Nuts sonds nummy though...maybe some spiced pecans...yummmmm

24I like thin orange wedges on my trays...mixed with herb sprigs like mint. Cheese make the breath funky...
25i usually limit my food on a cheese plate to cheese and crackers or bread of some type. i feel like anything else just makes it more than just a cheese plate

27Me too, Fuzzles.
28chocolate is a wonderful compliment to it as well - balances out the flavor
29Spanish olives.
30All of the above lol, but I really love fruit mixed with cheese on platters. I love mixing the flavours in one bite
31Oatcakes and grapes.
32green grapes!!!!!!! and last time i presented one i put a little roasted red bell pepper in juliannes...
33I always have cheese, crackers or crostini, and grapes.
34There's a restaurant in New Orleans that included spicy walnuts that were amazing with their cheese plates.
35cookies, nutela, honey...
36I would add honey, I would also include a variety of nuts.
