Elegant all-white cheese board (Printable)

A sophisticated white cheese board featuring brie, white peaches, meringue kisses, and silver leaf.

# What You'll Need:

→ Cheese

01 - 9 oz brie cheese wheel or wedge, chilled

→ Fruit

02 - 3 ripe white peaches, thinly sliced

→ Sweets

03 - 12 small meringue kisses or nests, homemade or store-bought

→ Garnish

04 - Edible silver leaf, for decoration

→ Accompaniments (optional)

05 - Small handful of white grapes
06 - Small bowl of raw or lightly toasted blanched almonds

# Directions:

01 - If making meringue from scratch, preheat oven to 200°F. Beat 2 large egg whites with ½ cup superfine sugar and ¼ teaspoon cream of tartar until stiff peaks form. Pipe or spoon small mounds onto a lined baking tray and bake for 1 hour until crisp. Cool completely. If using store-bought meringue, skip this step.
02 - Place the chilled brie cheese on a large serving board.
03 - Fan the thinly sliced white peaches artfully around the brie.
04 - Cluster the meringue kisses or nests around the peaches and brie.
05 - If desired, arrange white grapes and almonds on the board.
06 - Using tweezers, delicately place edible silver leaf on select meringues and peach slices for an elegant finish.
07 - Present immediately allowing guests to enjoy the variety of flavors and textures.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours planning when you really just needed twenty minutes and good taste.
  • Every bite combines something warm and creamy with something crisp and cool, so your palate stays awake.
  • People actually linger around this board instead of grabbing and moving on.
02 -
  • Brie continues to soften after it leaves the fridge, so time your board assembly close to when people will eat it.
  • Meringue is hygroscopic, which means it absorbs humidity from the air and loses its crispness—keep it assembled no more than an hour or two before serving.
  • The silver leaf is edible but flavorless; it's really just there to make you feel like you're hosting royalty.
03 -
  • Slice your peaches just before assembly so they stay firm and bright; oxidation happens fast, so work quickly if you're doing this ahead.
  • Keep a tiny bowl of cold water nearby while applying silver leaf—damp fingers make the leaf easier to position without it sticking to itself.
