How to make the best goat cheese board
You will need:
- a large board
- goat cheese (I used 2 logs)
- toppings
When choosing toppings you can pick whatever you want but here are some things that I think are great options:
- nuts
- dried fruits (aprciots, cherries, cranberries)
- jellies, preserves or an apple/pumpkin butter
- cured meats
- fresh herbs
- drizzle with honey, balsamic glaze, olive oil
- serve with some crackers, pita chips, or crostini
I chose to make a trio of different flavors so there’s a variety but you can do whatever you’d like!
Here is my recipe:
You will want to start by taking your goat cheese out of the refrigerator and allowing to get to room temp to make it easy to spread. Using a spoon or spatula, spread onto your board. Divide the board into 3 sections lengthwise. In the first section, top with dried cherries, dried apricots and nuts. Drizzle with honey.
In the middle, top with some pepper jelly.
On the last section, top with blackberries, chopped basil, grated lemon and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
Doesn’t this look delicious???

November 16, 2022 at 2:30 amThanks for sharing. It looks yummy. Goat chees has a specific taste. Not anyone can enjoy it. It definitely needs something extra with it. I personally like spicy pepper. But here are also great ideas!

February 10, 2023 at 8:50 amHi Nicolle! I love this idea – particularly that you used pepper jelly with the goat cheese! Those two are a fabulous combination of flavors. Definitely using your idea for Valentine’s day this year – since we typically skip going to the fancy restaurant and instead make a charcuterie board at home. Thanks for the recipe and instructions. Hope you are staying warm this winter.
