Green Graze Board
Recipe by Melissa Santell
Graze, but make it green.
My love letter to St. Patrick’s Day is a faux charcuterie board filled with delicious cheeses, green fruits and veggies, and oreo gold coins.
Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients
- Sage Derby Cheese, sliced
- Herbed goat cheese log, sliced
- Triple cream brie round
- 3 kiwis, halved into zigzag shape
- 1 bunch of green grapes
- ½ cup Cerignola olives
- Handful of yogurt covered pretzels
- 2 green apples, sliced in ¼ inch slices
- 1 cucumber, sliced thin
- ¼ cup Marcona almonds
- 2 tablespoons green pepper jelly
- 10 Oreo cookies
- Edible gold color mist or glitter
- Edible white flowers, optional
Directions
- Place brie in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to harden slightly. Then use a sharp knife to cut one ½ inch thick slice off the top of the cheese round. Use a shamrock cookie cutter to press the shape into the slice. Spread green pepper jelly across the bottom half of the brie and return the top slice to its original position.
- For the cucumber, layer slices to create a rose shape in two small ramekins.
- Using your favorite round serving dish, arrange all of the remaining elements around the brie centerpiece.
- Finish by spraying oreos with edible gold dust and placing them where desired. Garnish with edible flowers if available!
- Get lucky.
