Whether you're hosting a few friends to listen to Harry's House (again) or figuring out apps for a formal dinner party, cheese boards are your best pal. There are endless variations and ingredient swaps, ways to adapt your board to your budget, and yes, they're as photogenic as it gets. In honor of National Cheese Day on June 4, here are 12 clever TikToks to make your dairy dreams come true.
Swap Out Your Board
@amazing_grazers I’ve missed these jobs so much! ❤️ #amazinggrazers #grazeanatomy #australia #grazingboard #charcuterieboard #foodstyling
Play with presentation by building a cheese board atop a cake stand. It is, if you'll indulge us here, a "cheese cake."
Make It Spicy
@charcuterie.chick spice up your life 🌶 #Wee #fyp #foryoupage #cheeseboard #WeirdPets
Brown sugar- and cayenne-coated bacon, red chili crackers, and spicy romesco are just a few of the ingredients with a kick on this board. Balance them out with less sharp standbys, like gouda and apples.
Bring Out The Cookie Cutters
@ainttooproudtomeg Do you eat the rind on Brie? I do! #learnfromme #foodnetwork #charcuterieboard #cheeseboard #brie
Slice brie in half, use a cookie cutter to create the shape of your choice on one side, and spread jam on the other for a cute, decorative touch.
Two Words: Fried Cheese
@taratastessf What’s better than FRIED CHEESE?!🤩 #easyrecipe #easyrecipetutorials #easyrecipesathome #brie #briecheese #charcuterieboard #cheeseboard
Coat brie in an egg wash and panko breadcrumbs, pan fry, drizzle with honey, and onto the cheeseboard it goes.
Serve It In A Cone
@yayayumboards The new charcuterie craze ~ charcuterie cones 🤩 #cheese #fyp #weddings #charcuterieboard #charcuterie #snapshot
Now that's fancy. Use a board or other serving pieces with holes as a base, and create individual charcuterie cones packed with all of the essentials.
Chip Your Cheese
@cookingwithshereen How much Cheese is too much Cheese? #YearonTiktok #welcome2021 #easyrecipe #foodtiktok #cheeseboard #whatilearned #cookingwithshereen
This TikTok is full of wisdom, but our favorite tip is to try chipping off pieces rather than slicing hard cheese. It makes for a more visually interesting board.
Make Salami Flowers
@thefeedfeed Our @alexawhatsfordinner has mastered the Salami Rose #hack ! #salami #salamirose #charcuterie #cheeseboard #foodie #foodtiktok #hacks #FEEDFEED
Use a wine or water glass to create a salami flower. Then simply flip it over to deposit your creation on the cheeseboard.
Save Your Money
@thatcheeseplate How to make a budget friendly cheese plate! 🌿🧀🥒 Reply to @joyjoym_ #TikTokRecipe #cheese #cheeseboard #cheeseplate
It's easy to drop big bucks on a cheeseboard, especially if you're only using a little of everything. But it's possible to assemble a beauty for under $20, thanks to @thatcheeseplate's expertise.
Frame It With Brie
@ainttooproudtomeg I can’t believe how many of you hate the #brie rind! #cheeseboard #charcuterie #learnfromme #foodnetwork
By slicing up and layering brie, you essentially create a pretty picture frame for other ingredients. Think: olives, fruit, and jam.
Hop On A Boat
@yayayumboards All aboard the charcuterie boat ⛵️ #cheese #charcuterie #cheeseboard #charcuterieboard #Snapshot #fyp #foryoupage
Instead of unleashing your guests on one, massive cheese plate, create individual boats of charcuterie, crackers, fruit, and cheese. On behalf of the germaphobes, let us say thank you.
Fold Your Prosciutto
@thatcheeseplate Prosciutto folding! It’s a delicate beauty. #charcuterie #prosciutto #cheeseboard
Start by chilling your prosciutto in the freezer, which allows you to create accordion shapes that stand up on a board for easy plucking.
Turn It Into Cheesecake
@erekasfood Love cheese? Watch this. #recipe #cheese #cheeselover #food #easyrecipe #cheesecake #cheeseplate #foodie @cheatsandmeeses
By choosing three round cheeses of differing sizes, you essentially create a layer cake made of cheese. Decorate it with edible flowers and fruit, and top with honeycomb.
