What is a good way to garnish the plate that you are putting a cheeseball on?

Question

What are toast points?

Answer 1

I'd put the cheeseball in the center of a platter. Around the cheeseball, I'd arrange in a circle a variety of crackers, pita chips, bruschetta chips, or whatever you intend the cheese to be spread on.

For presentation purposes, I usually also put some fruit on the corners of the platter. I try to keep it seasonal - grapes in the summer and spring, pears and apples in the fall and winter. Sometimes, I put all 4, depending on what I have around and what color the cheese is - for example, I would avoid red apple and grapes when I'm putting out a port wine cheddar, since red is already covered.

Answer 2

Green leaf lettuce with the cheeseball in the center then crackers/toast points surrounding the ball

Answer 3

A rough looking lettuce/cabbage. If it is too smooth, the cheeseball will be out of place. Since I don't know what is accessible in your area, it is hard to state specifics. Just look for nice colors / textures.

Answer 4

When you cut a slice of toast - from corner to corner, then the other corner to corner, you have "toast points".

Roll cheese ball in chopped fresh parsley - for a pretty look.
Put cheese ball in center of serving platter and surround with your little piles (or in small dishes) of vegetables and crackers.

Answer 5

If the cheeseball is covered with nuts, lay it on a trimmed romaine lettuse leaf and fan whole-wheat or whole-grain crackers around it.

Answer 6

Lettuce or cabbage - for an orange/yellow cheese ball. Some cheese balls have red in them and then red cabbage is really pretty. I have also used the crackers as the platform for the cheese ball or I have put it in a decorative bowl.

Answer 7

Mini toast, and breadstick crackers.

Answer 8

Purple Kale or radicchio

Answer 9

one of those white paper doiles with a lace pattern would look nice

Answer 10

Red and white grapes.
