Assorted Cheeses, Olives, and Crackers
From Dorothy McNett's Recipe book at www.dorothymcnett.com. This is our "Welcome!" platter and served with light bubbly Italian Prosecco, it is a winner. Not everyone arrives at the same time for your party, so this is perfect as a starter course as guests arrive. After Prosecco, serve Pinot Grigio.
Cheddar or similar cheese, cut into chunks
Pecorino Romano or Myzithra, or other dry and salty cheese
Grilled Halloumi or other interesting cheese with quince paste
Fresh Mozzarella, sliced and sprinkled with extra virgin olive oil
olives, but not highly brined ones as it interferes with the wines. Go for oil packed, etc.
Interesting crackers and a gentle dip, such as our Fall Pear Dip
Arrange, arrange, arrange! Tell the origin and history of each cheese, if you know it.
