The holidays are for cheese platters and charcuterie boards…or vice versa. Either way, the appetizers are popular at holiday (or dinner) parties — lots of variety for the guest and relatively easy prep for the host.
However you design your platter or board, there is always one key ingredient necessary — cheese…and lots of it.
