Ingredients

8

oz Gorgonzola, Stilton or other blue cheese wedge

8

oz Brie or Camembert cheese wedge

8

oz log of goat cheese rolled in chopped fresh herbs such as chives, parsley or basil

1

fresh pineapple

2

cups melon cubes (cantaloupe, honeydew or watermelon)

1 1/2

lb grape clusters (red, green or purple)

Bay leaves or fresh herb sprigs such as mint, basil or parsley, if desired

Preparation

Choose a large round or rectangular tray, along with a small round cutting board or ceramic tile. Set the cutting board or tile on the tray for the cheese wedges. Allow cheese to stand at room temperature 30 minutes.

Quarter the pineapple, cut out the fruit and cut into wedges. Use the rind as a “basket” on the tray for the fruit wedges. Place the melon cubes on the tray on bay leaves. Arrange grape clusters on the tray.
