Marble Quarry Cheese Board (Print)

A stunning marble slab arrangement of blue cheese and white cheddar with fresh grapes and honey.

# Ingredients:

→ Cheeses

01 - 7 oz blue cheese (e.g., Roquefort, Gorgonzola, or Stilton), cut into large, irregular chunks
02 - 7 oz aged white cheddar, cut into large, irregular chunks

→ Accompaniments (optional)

03 - Fresh grapes or sliced pears, for serving
04 - Assorted crackers or crusty bread
05 - Honey or fig jam, for drizzling

# Instructions:

01 - Place the marble slab on a flat surface or serving table to create an elegant presentation base.
02 - Distribute large, irregular chunks of blue cheese and white cheddar across the marble slab, spacing pieces to evoke a quarry-like effect.
03 - Optionally, nestle fresh grapes or pear slices alongside small bowls of honey or fig jam among the cheeses for visual interest and enhanced flavor.
04 - Present the slab with crackers or crusty bread on the side, inviting guests to create their own bites.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • It takes ten minutes but looks like you spent hours curating something special.
  • The bitter-salty blue cheese against creamy aged cheddar creates a flavor conversation that keeps people coming back for more.
  • No cooking required means you can pull it together while chatting, with zero stress.
02 -
  • Blue cheese and aged cheddar are both assertive, so people often take smaller pieces than they would with milder cheeses, which means this board stretches further than you'd expect.
  • The quarry look only works if you leave actual space between pieces, cramming them together makes it look panicked instead of intentional.
03 -
  • If your blue cheese is crumbly, it means it's good, don't smooth it out, those irregular edges are what make the quarry real.
  • Serve at room temperature for the most flavor, but keep the marble cold between courses by storing it in the fridge between rounds.
