Manchego is my favorite cheese and I love to make it the STAR of a cheese plate like on this super simple plate perfect for a lazy afternoon or by the pool!

Simple Cheese Plate

Cut your manchego cheese into triangles and arrange on your board making a manchego river - simply layer the triangles over one another as you create a cute "river" of cheese down the middle of your board

Place your dish of apricot jelly next to the cheese. 

Cut the strawberries into little hearts - cut the stem off in a V-shaped fashion then slice the strawberry in half VERTICALLY leaving a front and back piece (2 hearts)

Add the strawberry hearts, persimmons and raspberries to the board. 

Pop little sprigs of rosemary into gaps and drop a couple of fresh sage leaves onto the plate to make it look pretty!
