Ingredients
- 200 grams Brie cheese
- 200 grams Sharp cheddar cheese
- 150 grams Goat cheese
- 200 grams Red grapes
- 200 grams Green grapes
- 150 grams Strawberries
- 100 grams Dried apricots
- 4 pieces Fresh figs (optional)
- 200 grams Assorted crackers
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 50 grams Nuts (e.g., almonds or walnuts)

Directions
Step 1
1. Prepare the cheeses: Cut the Brie cheese into small wedges, slice the cheddar into even squares or rectangle pieces, and crumble the goat cheese into bite-sized portions. Arrange these cheeses in separate sections on a large serving board or platter.
Step 2
2. Wash and prepare the fruits: Rinse the red and green grapes and pat them dry with a clean towel. Keep them as small bunches, or separate them into individual grapes for easier serving. Wash the strawberries, remove the stems, and slice them in half. If using fresh figs, slice them into quarters.
Step 3
3. Add dried fruit and crackers: Place the dried apricots in a small pile or bowl on the platter. Arrange the assorted crackers around the cheeses and fruits in a visually appealing manner, ensuring everything remains accessible.
Step 4
4. Add nuts and honey: Scatter the nuts (almonds or walnuts) around the platter for added crunch. Optionally, drizzle some honey near the goat cheese or place it in a small jar with a spoon for guests to serve themselves.
Step 5
5. Garnish and serve: Garnish the platter with fresh rosemary sprigs for a touch of elegance and a hint of aroma. Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing blend of flavors and textures!
