One of my favorite treats is a well-crafted antipasto plate with cheeses, salami, and olives. For dinner parties, I love taking comfort food and kicking it up a notch -- so a cheese buffet or a cheese station to start the evening would fit right in. Today I round up four of my favorite cheese spreads.
When I was pregnant I missed ending each day with a artfully plated appetizer. So it's no surprise now that I'm not pregnant we regularly have antipasto. Whether it's just me or the two of us eating I love to set a visually appealing plate.

1. Label Your Cheese(s).
Key to any cheese offering is a description of the cheeses. You've spent a considerable amount of time trying cheeses and then finding their perfect complement; share your knowledge with your guests. If passing a cheese platter family style at a dinner try menus at each seat.
2. Plate individual bites.
Cheese can be expensive. Want to keep costs manageable but still look like you spent a fortune? Set out individual bites. You can group all of one creation together on a passed platter or all the samples on a plate at each seat.
How do you serve cheese?
Bon Appetit!
